Thank you. I just figured that out experimenatlly about an hour ago.
I was quite sure that this string was uncommented in my 6.4 KERNCONF and 
there were no any *.symbols there but I may be wrong of course.
Besides I was confused by the fact that it was uncommented in GENERIC 
and also missed the comment to DEBUG option firstly.
