It sounds like you added the EVMS common-files patch but not the actual EVMS
code. This will cause the kernel config to break, since it can't find the
file drivers/evms/Config.in.
If you want to build the latest EVMS kernel code from CVS, please see
http://evms.sf.net/install.html (last section).

This doesn't make much sense. When I reproduce the above situation, all I get
is an error from awk, and then make quits with an error. I can't imagine why
it would cause your X server to blow up.
