I would first copy a 2.6.26 tree to a new directory (cp -rl linux-2.6.26 linux2.6.27) then be sure I had a clean copy with "make distclean" (or "make mrproper") and then apply the 2.6.27 patch. Then I would copy the 2.6.26 (or maybe 2.6.26.6) config to .config, and make the oldconfig.

Hm, I `cp /boot/config .config` in new kernel tree [2.6.27] for the
