2.4.13 Kernel Woes

[Steve Holmes]

But apparently make oldconfig is not yielding the desired results with
2.4.13. On two different machines now, the .config used for previous
compiles of 2.4.12 were passed into 13 with oldconfig and came up with
dead kernels on both machines here. When I heard other comments about
configs being reset or something, makes me wonder if I need to do the
whole bloody make config from scratch to get better results.
