I've seen a dev complain that most of the problems he's had to deal with have been due to oldconfig, so I don't use it at all. I copy the config in from the previous tree, then I run menuconfig and search for lines ending in [NEW] or [DEPRECATED]. This is far quicker and less error-prone than going through the entire set of options. -- Rgds Peter
