did the folowing:
make mrproper
put .config back
make oldconfig

and then I got these questions:
  default tagged command queue depth (CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_DEFAULT_TAGS) [8] 
(NEW)
  maximum number of queued commands (CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_MAX_TAGS) [32] 
(NEW)
  synchronous transfers frequency in MHz (CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYNC) [20] 
(NEW)
  enable profiling (CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_PROFILE) [N/y/?] (NEW)
  use normal IO (CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_IOMAPPED) [N/y/?] (NEW)
  assume boards are SYMBIOS compatible (EXPERIMENTAL) 
(CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYMBIOS_COMPAT) [N/y/?] (NEW)

this is strange because CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX and CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX are 
not set and CONFIG_SCSI_ZALON does not exist in my .config
so this condition in drivers/scsi/Config.in (line 156) should not be true:
   if [ "$CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX" != "n" -o "$CONFIG_SCSI_ZALON" != "n" -o 
"$CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX" != "n" ]; then

when I add CONFIG_SCSI_ZALON to my .config (after CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX) then 
these questions are not asked.
CONFIG_SCSI_ZALON is missing from my .config because it depends on CONFIG_GSC 
and CONFIG_SCSI and I can't find where CONFIG_GSC is set...

a possible solution would be to check whether $CONFIG_SCSI_ZALON = y or n
