This has been discussed on this list before. Running make oldconfig |
| 11 |
works fine. I, and a lot of others, have said this many times. I |
| 12 |
configed one kernel about 5 years ago and have used oldconfig ever |
| 13 |
since. It is faster and less prone to problems than starting from scratch. |

If you are going from 2.4 to 2.6, then you should start fresh. I |
| 16 |
recently went from 2.6.23 to a 2.6.28 with no problem, other than trying |
| 17 |
to figure out that new group stuff. |
