Before any other make commands do:
make oldconfig
Ok - tried that. But it didn't seem to make any difference to the config file:
penemude:/usr/src/linux # ls -l .conf* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24724 Jun 5 21:36 .config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24724 Jun 5 21:22 .config.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24724 Jun 5 19:04 .config.orig penemude:/usr/src/linux # diff .config .config.old
However when I re-attempted the make with make dep clean bzImage and contrary to my expectations, it completed successfully....
Did the 'make oldconfig' effect anything other than the .config file?
No, it does not. Did you actually try to compile after doing the config.gz thing, or did you only look at the config files?
