I've recently upgraded my kernel a rebuilt it and supprising was able to
boot the system. BUT!! During the upgrade it didn't keep my existing
kernel configuration so I lost access to a few devices and features.
So my question is, is it spose to keep my existing configuration and I
just did something wrong? If not, then is it possible to get it to
keep the existing config so i don't have to try and remember all the
options i chose.
Any other tips would be appreciated as this is my first attempt at
rebuilding and upgrading a kernel under linux.

another thought. i have a habit of building a /preserve partition,
which will contain stuff i'd like to save across entire re-installs.
things like RPMs or tarballs i've downloaded and so on.
if you do this, the thought of doing an entire reinstall is not as
frightening.
