One thing to check is that "make oldconfig" can actually change the configuration if things were moved behind a new top-level configuration parameter or such. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's possible that things like the i2c changes might have made you inadvertedly changed some config option.
I suspected so. However the acpi and i2c section of the two config are identical. I report the only selected options: Power management options (ACPI, APM) ---> [*] Power Management support [*] Software Suspend (Hibernation) ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support ---> [*] ACPI Support [*] Sleep States <M> Button <M> Video <M> Fan <M> Processor <M> Thermal Zone (0) Disable ACPI for systems before Jan 1st this year Device Drivers ---> I2C support ---> <M> I2C device interface I2C Hardware Bus support ---> <M> VIA VT82C596/82C686/82xx and CX700
> Is this considered a regression or can be due to userland incompatibilities? It's a regression, although I'd like to know more about your cases. It's just hard to tell what happened: was it a i2c/hwmon driver that got broken, or is it some sysfs file that got buggered, or what.. For example, "dmesg" output before and after (preferably as a diff between the two), and what modules you had loaded in the working/nonworking case.
The first column of lsmod list the same modules in both kernels. The diff-ed dmesg is attached.
