One thing to check is that "make oldconfig" can actually change the configuration if things were moved behind a new top-level configuration parameter or such. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's possible that things like the i2c changes might have made you inadvertedly changed some config option.
I suspected so. However the acpi and i2c section of the two config are
identical. I report the only selected options:
Power management options (ACPI, APM) --->
[*] Power Management support
[*] Software Suspend (Hibernation)
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support --->
[*] ACPI Support
[*] Sleep States
<M> Button
<M> Video
<M> Fan
<M> Processor
<M> Thermal Zone
(0) Disable ACPI for systems before Jan 1st this year
Device Drivers --->
I2C support --->
<M> I2C device interface
I2C Hardware Bus support --->
<M> VIA VT82C596/82C686/82xx and CX700
> Is this considered a regression or can be due to userland incompatibilities? It's a regression, although I'd like to know more about your cases. It's just hard to tell what happened: was it a i2c/hwmon driver that got broken, or is it some sysfs file that got buggered, or what.. For example, "dmesg" output before and after (preferably as a diff between the two), and what modules you had loaded in the working/nonworking case.
The first column of lsmod list the same modules in both kernels. The diff-ed dmesg is attached.
