A nice way to bring a .config from an older kernel to a new one is to
simply copy it to the kernel directory (naming it .config, of course)
and run `make oldconfig'.  This will run through the config file and
ask you about any new options added since that config file was
generated.  I've brought my .config file from early 2.4.0 releases all
the way to 2.4.7 with no problems using this method.  Once you have
done that, you can use `make menuconfig' or `make xconfig' to
add/remove any other options as appropriate.
