minor 2.6.11-bk6 config issue or user error

Hi,

I went from bk4 to bk6. After patching i just typed make to recompile (as I
thought this would be enough). But it errored out because CONFIG_BASE_SMALL
wasn't defined. So I did make menuconfig and saved my config again and now it
compiles through.

Is it needed to run make oldconfig or make menuconfig and save before kernel
upgrade? I thought make oldconfig is run automatically on make?

I believe thats mistaken Prakash.  One should do a make oldconfig 
after applying any patch, or when moving an existing .config from an 
older version's tree to the new tree you are building.  Its all part 
of my scripts so I don't forget.
