I just did a diff between your configuration, and that of my ThinkPad 770
(233 MHz Pentium MMX).

Note to defconfig maintainers: can these options be enabled by default on
i386 (like they were in 2.4)?

Things that you might want to enable:

CONFIG_ISA=y

CONFIG_SERIO=y
CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y
CONFIG_INPUT_AT_KEYBOARD=y

CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y

You also might want to turn off Trident FB support, and turn on generic
VESA support. I have had good luck with the VESA driver, but odd,
irreproducible errors with the Trident code (several versions back;
haven't retested).
