Since the new machine will probably have a newer kernel, I suggest
1) copy /usr/src/linux/.config from the working machine to the new
machine
2) run "make oldconfig"
3) then run male and make modules_install
"make oldconfig" will give you a chance to set values for options in
the newer kernel that don't exist in the older kernel.
