I expect things like that to have potentially changed with every point release of the 2.6 kernel, since the numbering scheme is practically useless now. Every 2.6.XX release has the potential for major changes. Typically I will run a make oldconfig and then walk through the menuconfig options. I don't consider it a pleasant exercise, but since I don't upgrade the kernel very much it's not so terrible. -Sean
