Is this recommended between *major* kernel revisions, i.e. the
change from 2.2.x to 2.4.x ?? I personally had problems when
doing this. It would compile okay, but on reboot, it would
hang around the point that it tried to mount the filesystem.
Starting with a "clean" .config file and then modifying it
with my settings (basically the same changes I had with my
2.2.x kernel) seemed to fix this problem.
