AFAIK, you have to rename your old ".config" as ".config.old"

Hope this helps

Ive had this problem for the last few 2.6 kernel releases.

After emerging a kernel, I copy my old config over and then try and merge
it before building a new kernel:

# cd /usr/src/linux
# cp /boot/config-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 .config
# make oldconfig
Missing }.
# ls -a
./                     .config.old       .tmp_vmlinux2*  Makefilee       fs/

.config.cmd            .tmp_vmlinux1*    Makefile        drivers/        net/


For one or two machines, Ive been able to "fix" this weirdness by just issuing a make and letting it build a kernel with default options. Today I couldn't do that with the 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 release, still can't run any configuration tools even after building a kernel as shown above.

So what am I doing wrong?
