 |
|
Hi!
I have perfectly working kernel 2.6.7.
But I want to use 2.6.10 (because of some reasons).
I am too lazy to make all configuration again - there are a lot of diffs from default kernel options.
So, are there any methods to use old config with new kernel?
As I understand I can't just copy my old config to new source directory, because there are some new options in new kernel....

you can copy the old one to the new location. then you have to do a "make oldconfig", which asks you for all new options and leaves the old ones untouched. for small version-jumps that procedure works quite well, you shoudn't use it when upgrading 2.4 to 2.6 or something similar. just have a try!
