Ok I will and try and make this simple.
Say I'm using "genkernel" to automate the kernel compile:
Will simply moving the ".config" from the current Kernel tree to new
Kernel tree use the same menu slections that were used in the original
Kernel tree?
E.G.
1) mount /boot
2) cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r7
3) cp .config /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r8/.config
4) cd /usr/src
5) rm linux
6) ln -s linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r8 linux
7) cd /usr/src/linux
8) genkernel
9) modify grub.conf to reflect the new kernel
10) umount /boot
11) shutdown -ar

Hi,
When using genkernel it uses config-file from 
/etc/kernels/default-config /i think/ not .config in the source root. I 
do copy .config or some old config-2.4.xx-..... to default-config, 
reserving the original of course.
Rumen.
