I normally also use oldconfig. I think there might be a reason for it to be
around. But this time I didn't, because the old kernel was version 2.6.39
and I thought oldconfig would mess things up more than help on the new
3.4.9. Don't know how right or wrong is this assumption, though.

I just was lazy to upgrade the kernel, as it takes an hour or so to check
most of menucofig.
