Sorry, one more thing I forgot :) It's too late and I can't think :) After you do those first steps, and copy your .config back into /usr/src/linux and before you run the 'make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install', you need to run either 'make menuconfig' and just save & exit right away or you can also just do a 'make oldconfig'
If you don't do that one step, the 'make dep && ......" line will fail right from the start.
