Warning: If you have upgraded your sources since your last kernel build, you must use the make buildkernel method to build your kernel. Otherwise, old utilities will be used to build the kernel, which will probably fail. Do not use the config/make sequence to build your kernel if you have updated the sources! > Steve K.
