Just copy your old .config file into the new source directory |
| 12 |
and do a "make oldconfig". It'll prompt you when it runs |
| 13 |
across options that aren't set in the old .config file. |

You probably want to disable generic IDE support and enable the |
| 16 |
combined SATA/PATA stuff in the new one. The ATA stuff has |
| 17 |
been completely redone between 2.6.21 and 2.6.22. |

It's always fun to have major incompatible changes made between |
| 20 |
minor versions in a stable kernel. :/ |
