ohhh... My first reaction was to say "since when has Gentoo been about
dumbing down the options just to suit the ...er unenlightened?" Then I
thought "How crazy could you be not to _read_ what you're doing when
upgrading your kernel?" Of all things to upgrade this one would be
vaguely important! I closely read the output from make oldconfig, and
I've avoided all of these problems. Oh well, I'll continue to tinker
and break things - that's how I enjoy learning, but I guess it makes
sense to keep the upgrade guide as it is...
