I don't know about that. I found a whole lot of stuff different when I ran menuconfig and checked the old and new settings. I just made a partial list by comparing the oldkernel settings in menuconfig and the new kernel after running make oldconfig. And this is only SOME of them, got tired of it part way thru: Some of these really seem like they should have ended up marked the same after oldconfig ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- Automatically append version string on in old off in new BSD accounting off in old On in new Export Task process thru netlink off in old, on in new Auditing support off in old, on in new Namespc support all off in old all on in new. Network support/wireless off in old, on in new Amatuer radio support off in old, on in new RFswitch subsys support off in old On in new Networking/ multicasting off in old on in new Advanced router off in old On in new BOOTTP off in old on in new RARP off in old on in new TCP advanced congestion control off in old, on in new. ipv6 off in old, on in new I gave up after that... so if you think oldconfig means you get the same settings by and large... it doesn't.
