If you grab an old .config and run `make oldconfig', your kernel probably won't work. I lost useful things like CONFIG_BLK_DEV and the whole SCSI system, because they were added after I generated my .config. So save yourself some hassle and check your .config carefully before building this kernel. Make sure that everything you need is still enabled. I found that manually adding "CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y" to the .config before running oldconfig saved a large number of config items from getting lost.
On the one ppc64 machine I have to test on for memoryless nodes, I found I had to add back in CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y and CONFIG_SCSI_LOWLEVEL=y. Just for reference as other folks pull out their hair.
Those menuconfig changes have been a huge pain.
