For those on this list who "regularly" reconfigure kernels, I would

modules or mapping to them.
Yes, you will need to reinstall your modules, as far as I know.
When you change an option such as CONFIG_SMP to Y or to N, and then
rebuild the kernel from a previous build, it will rebuild most of the
kernel again as the code for SMP affects a lot of drivers. As you
build, it should be noticeable of all the modules that get rebuilt.
And probably the Catalyst modules need to be rebuilt also.
Thanks, William
