Thank you mate!!
Yep I have used all of them=E2=80=A6 perhaps I prefer doing a make olddefcon=
fig save the generated .config and then clean all and run genkernel with men=
uconfig and load there (from menuconfig) the olddefconfig .config file=E2=80=
=A6
But you always can think that perhaps some parameter of the new kernel as a c=
onsecuence of a fixed parameter in your .config could end up incorrectly con=
figured causing corruptions of some sort or very unexpected and dangerous er=
roneus working mode=E2=80=A6.
That=E2=80=99s why I asked about your experience in this kind of aspect=E2=80=
=A6
Cheers!
