What do you mean by this, I'm not clear?

The first time I installed the 2.1.115 kernel source, I then did:

make menuconfig

Then I loaded my 2.0.35 config file into menuconfig with the
"Load Alternate Configuration file" command on the menu.

Then I went through every single menu one at a time like usual,
turning options on and off, modules, etc..

I then chose Save options to config file, and then exit and save.

I did a:

make dep && make config && time make zImage
make modules && make modules_install

Everything seemed to work just fine. I don't understand how I
could miss anything. Is it wrong to use a 2.0.x config with
2.1.x? If so, I'll certainly do a 2.1.x config from scratch.

Isn't that just plain black and white scrolly text with no
menuconfig?
