39 Simple human error :-/
40
41 When I did:
42 cd linux
43 cp ../linux-old_kernel/.config .
44 mount /boot/
45 make oldconfig
46
47 New entries showed up. Instead of pressing "enter" I made a mistake and press "Y" several times.
48 This enabled some feature in the new kernel that shouldn't be there; example: "CONFIG_KCSAN = y"
49
50 Redoing the process just by hitting "enter" soled the problem; new kernel boot as it should.
