make oldconfig, menuconfig, gconfig work fine with me (_but_ using a 2.6.13.2 .config -- so the jump is smaller...) make xconfig gives me troubles 2 (static parser...) another way to go would be to explicitly save your old (2.6.4) .config into something like .config-randy... then consume it... (xconfig will not find a .config / implicitly work, then you fool it by loading .config-randy) that _should_ do it... if still not working, mrproper the old 6.4 then goto .config-randy... my $.02
