If you updated from 2.6.34 or even 33, then there shouldn't be a
problem; "make oldconfig" should have worked OK and presented
new/changed config options in a sane way.
On this particular box I was updating from 2.6.24 to 2.6.35 and I always
use 'make silentoldconfig' when upgrading.
Extremely bad idea. It's no wonder something did break. You can't just
"silentoldconfig" between kernel versions and expect it to always work.
At least "oldconfig" would catch new options (which might be options
replacing old ones.)
