Andy,
All you have to do is copy the .config file from /usr/src/linux
(this is a symlink) to the new kernel directory. This does require that you
installed the kernel source. I am not sure if it is installed by default,
or if you have to manually install it. Once you do that, you can just run
your 'make oldconfig' in the new directory, and it will work. I would
suggest that you take a look through the config, because the stock YDL
kernel does not include some usb stuff that you may find useful.

Subject: kernel configs
Hi all,
I'm a bit confused as to how to go about figuring out what
kernel config file corresponds to my installed stock
YDL 2.1 kernel.
I figured the way to find out was to cd to /usr/src/linux,
do a "make oldconfig," and see what it used for its
starting point. It used /usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/defconfig,
but then I don't understand why it prompted me for several
"new" options -- I haven't upgraded my kernel, why should
anything be new?
There's also a bunch of config files in /usr/src/linux/configs
and in /usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/configs (and probably hidden
in various other places as well, I suppose). Some of them
obviously don't apply to me, like kernel-2.4.10-ppc-briq.config
and ibmchrp_defconfig (since I'm on an iBook), but some
of the other names are obscure enough to me that they could
conceivably apply.
I'm rambling here... can anyone clue me in?
Cheers,
Andy
