So I see that they changed the names of a lot of the kernel config flags... joy.

Anyone have a "conversion script", or should I just re-walk the menus myself and hope I get it all right...

Code:

< #
< # Select all processors your kernel should support
< #
< # CONFIG_CPU_386 is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_486 is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_586 is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_586TSC is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_586MMX is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_686 is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_PENTIUMII is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_PENTIUMIII is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_PENTIUMM is not set
< CONFIG_CPU_PENTIUM4=y
< # CONFIG_CPU_K6 is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_K7 is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_K8 is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_CRUSOE is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_WINCHIPC6 is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_WINCHIP2 is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_WINCHIP3D is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_CYRIXIII is not set
< # CONFIG_CPU_VIAC3_2 is not set
< CONFIG_CPU_INTEL=y

A simple make oldconfig didn't work? (I left 2.6.3 a while ago, don't remember how my transition went)

Hmm. learn something new every day.

anyways, I copied over the old .config, ran make menuconfig, changed nothing, and saved the "new" config. Diffed the old and the new .configs and was able to sort it out. Mostly I just lost my processor support settings. No need to build for a 386 when it's a P4-m laptop.

As soon as the emerge -UvD world finishes, I'll be able to build the kernel + modules, and see if it actually worked. This laptop's been a little finicky with the 2.6.3 kernel, but liked the 2.4 kernel I started with.
