Nonsense.
Just copy your old .config file into the new source directory
and do a "make oldconfig". It'll prompt you when it runs
across options that aren't set in the old .config file.
You probably want to disable generic IDE support and enable the
combined SATA/PATA stuff in the new one. The ATA stuff has
been completely redone between 2.6.21 and 2.6.22.
It's always fun to have major incompatible changes made between
minor versions in a stable kernel. :/
