Attached below is the output. It wrote a new .config, which it |
| 24 |
appears was not changed. |

I note however that I will be following richard brown's advice and |
| 34 |
applying the procedure in |
| 35 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/bugs.htm. Item 3 is. |

If you compiled your kernel with "make oldconfig", then clear your |
| 38 |
.config and manually configure it all again. You'd be suprised at how |
| 39 |
many problems this fixes. Sometimes it is user error, sometimes it is |
| 40 |
just oddities with the kernel build system. I personally don't like |
| 41 |
"make oldconfig". |
