Hello,
It seems like I remember that 'make oldconfig' is not
needed any more, to pass the current (booted) kernel
option to the .config for building a new kernel.
Of is 'make oldconfig' still a good idea?

Hello,
After copying the current ".config" to the newly linked sources
(/usr/src/linux) I use to run 'make oldconfig'. Now, looking at
the gentoo wiki [1] I see (2) choices but no 'make oldconfig'::
1) #make silentoldconfig
2) #make olddefconfig
3) #make oldconfig
(3) still seems to work. (2)
Let's say I have a .config from an older kernel version (for example,
2.6.38), and now I want to install a newer kernel (let's say, 3.0).
Is it necessary to first do `make oldconfig`, or is it safe to go
directly to `make menuconfig`?
Rgds,

You still need make oldconfig AFAIK.

Hi all,
I faced an ethernet driver miss during my kernel configuration,
because I had a wrong idea of what 'make oldconfig' did. I thought the
oldconfig target build up a new .config file starting from the
/proc/config.gz one then asking for new options.
But It was not the case here:

Better to run make oldconfig. It merges the changes.

Yep. I always run make oldconfig then just run make && make
modules_install. Once oldconfig is done, the kernel should be
configured and ready to build.

Is it necessary to first do `make oldconfig`, or is it safe to go
directly to `make menuconfig`?
Necessary to run
