Well, then did you try using make menuconfig? I would guess that that
would "refresh" your .config, thereby skipping the interrogation. In
my case:
[ku...@bluemoon ~/Software/Kernel/linux-git master] make
[snip]
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* RCU Subsystem
*
RCU Implementation
> 1. Tree-based hierarchical RCU (TREE_RCU)
2. Preemptable tree-based hierarchical RCU (TREE_PREEMPT_RCU) (NEW)
choice[1-2]:
I now hit Ctrl+C. Next, I do
make menuconfig
I just select Exit. When asked if I can save the configuration file, I say yes.
Now, observe:
[ku...@bluemoon ~/Software/Kernel/linux-git master] make
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
CHK include/linux/version.h
UPD include/linux/version.h
...
The interrogation step was skipped.
Hope this helps.
