I've seen it gets the defaults from /boot/config* files if it can't find a 
local .config.

I had the opposite problem the other day... I wanted to start with a fresh 
.config and had to find out how it gets the current config automatically.

A whole raft, then. (Or is it a waddle?) I was happy enough with my
huddle of 4...

I don't use gentoo-sources. Nothing against it, it's just that I got
used to upgrade by hand, once in a while...

But the kernel of gentoo-sources would be patched, if anything. The
vanilla kernel should have the usual penguins.

I've put gentoo-sources-4.11.0 on my new machine, in an attempt to get
sound working (the sound chip has a new Realtek codec S1220A which
allegedly has been implemented in 4.11).

I see 16 Tuxen at boot up, no problem.

Something strange happened when I installed the 4.11.0 sources - all the
options were initialised to what they were in my 4.9.16 running kernel.
This saved me a lot of time.

I use make menuconfig after oldconfig. I did check the usual suspects,
but maybe something needs to
be explicitly enabled that was formerly implicit.

Using `make oldconfig` isn't enough to diagnose - you need to establish whether 
the option is enabled.

On my system:

$ uname -r
4.9.4-gentoo
$ zgrep -i logo /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_LOGO=y
# CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_MONO is not set
# CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_VGA16 is not set
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_CLUT224=y
$

You can check to see if the options have changed in `make menuconfig`.

In case someone is using kernel 4.11: I tried it and everything seems
fine, except that the linux logo on the boot screen (i.e. tty1) is
gone. It was there before (with 4.10.9), and I used make oldconfig.

So, anyone with the same experience?

Note that I'm talking about the vanilla kernel from kernel.org, off
portage (hence the OT in the title).
