Been there; done that. 'make oldconfig' drops the following settings that allow you to login and use an xterm, etc. That was a piss-poor decision, IMO, but it's easy to fix. CONFIG_VT=y CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y If you fix those, you'll probably be OK, but check everything. I've noticed in the past (pre 2.6) that 'make oldconfig' has a predilection for converting some settings to module rather than builtin.
