CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT depends on HAS_IOMEM  - That should be true for x86
CONFIG_PCI_SUPPORT depends on PCI - should not be a problem
CONFIG_VIDEO_IVTV depends on CONFIG_ANALOG_TV_SUPPORT
			     CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2, CONFIG_I2C
			     CONFIG_RC_CORE

You can edit .config to check these. If you find one of the above with the 
notation "is not set", you can delete that line. After you save the file, then 
run 'make oldconfig' and you will be asked about the missing values.
