Good point. I will then use "echo n | make oldconfig" by default.

I'm not sure that really removes the danger.  What if they split out a
driver you need into some other config option?  If there's a way to
echo a newline to all the questions, that would at least accept the
defaults.

Pardon me for being reactionary, but does "non-interactive kernel
configuration" give anyone else the cold sweats?
