    I did all that, as well as make clean and make mrproper. I didn't do
    "make all" but I did do "make" which I think is the same by default.

    I changed the EXTRAVERSION to something else. I did get a running
    kernel and most of these questions come from running that.

    What does make oldconfig do? Where are the config files for previously
    built kernels?

    Cheers,
    Rob
