Hello, After copying the current ".config" to the newly linked sources (/usr/src/linux) I use to run 'make oldconfig'. Now, looking at the gentoo wiki [1] I see (2) choices but no 'make oldconfig'::
1) #make silentoldconfig 2) #make olddefconfig 3) #make oldconfig (3) still seems to work. (2) uses defaults so I do not want that, but what about (1)? What's the difference between (1) and (3) ? Where do I read about them of find the sources? I did notice after running (3) and then 'make && make modules install' the slilentoldconfig script was ran (it flashed by quickly):: scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig Evidently, I'm a step behind kernel building semantics.... curiously, James [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Upgrade
