"make help" shows:

...
Configuration targets:
oldconfig - Update current config utilising a line-oriented program
menuconfig - Update current config utilising a menu based program
xconfig - Update current config utilising a QT based front-end
gconfig - Update current config utilising a GTK based front-end
defconfig - New config with default answer to all options
allmodconfig - New config selecting modules when possible
allyesconfig - New config where all options are accepted with yes
allnoconfig - New minimal config


A person trying to upgrade from 2.4 would suppose that the 2.4 .config
won't work and would likely start with "make allmodconfig", and then
"make {menu/x}config". With 100s (or 1000s) of configuration items,
it is not easy for a 2.4-er to discover that one now has to explicitly
enable i8042 and atkbd. So, it is likely for him to have:

CONFIG_SERIO=m
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=m
