Update, and a huge snip.

I have it working but I need to ask what is with the "make oldconfig" 
function?  To say it made some mistakes is possibly an understatement.

I may as well have fed it .configs generated by /dev/urandom as its taken me 
6 builds so far to pick up and reset the stuff it randomly changed on me, 
with another being done right now because it played mix and miss-match with 
the hardware monitoring and I now have no cpu sensors for temps etc.

99.9% of this wasted bandwidth could have been prevented if the 'make 
oldconfig' worked as expected.

Comments?

Thanks & a tip of the hat to all, 2.6.36 is 5 rebuilds later, running well 
so far except for the temps, fans etc.
