I believe that error caused by two missing bytes: '=' and 'y'. :-)
RAM_CONSOLE is a bool, so it should be enabled only when PSTORE_RAM
is also =y. (For some reason I keep foregetting that bool's 'depends on'
may be satisfied by tristates' =m option, which easily lead to the
errors above.)

Thanks for catching this!

I've applied the following hunk to this patch and will resend the left
over patches soon:
