When you change the kernel configuration even while staying on the same
version it's possible (or likely, I think) that internal kernel
datastructures change. Some of them are more critical than others.
If you want more detailed explanation you'll have to search the net (read
linux-kernel archives) - this has been discussed about on linux-kernel
several times over the years.
