'make oldconfig' should be faster.

first of all: do you really use PCI hotplug? i doubt that in a laptop.
so you have the following possibilites:

- just ignore the error (unless you use make-kpkg from debian).
- remove /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/hotplug/ibmphp.o
- configure the kernel without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_IBM and
  recompile/reinstall

anyway, this looks like a bug in ibmphp.c, you could bother the
maintainer.

cheers,
