That's version jumps like 2.4 to 2.6 |

The 2.6 development model is small incremental steps, so the odds are always |
| 13 |
in your favour that it will work just fine. Occasionally you might find two |
| 14 |
versions that don't like to play nicely with oldconfig but that isn't the |
| 15 |
norm. |

FWIW, I haven't encountered a single problem with the entire 2.6 range. But |
| 18 |
then again I don't do version jumps on the order of 2.6.9 to 2.6.15, it's more |
| 19 |
like 2.6.30-r6 to 2.6.31 |
