If you want to save your .config back it up elsewhere then do make mrproper or some recommend make distclean Copy .config back to top level and do make oldconfig then make gconfig or if not in X make menuconfig Another make oldconfig can't hurt and may help, then make && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install and if everything went well make install Phil
