recompiling kernel

make oldconfig might yield some strange results with
a new kernel rev, since stuff changes. When I do a
kernel upgrade, I do

make mrproper

Which makes sure there are no old deps and stuff

make config
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

I do used make oldconfig if I'm still on the same
kernel rev, but it's a good idea to do mrproper,
and using oldconfig with a new kernel might not
be a good idea.
