Then a diff with the old config and edit as needed. Doing it this way is very safe, since you always have the newest changes in GENERIC in your custom config. Concerning sound: this is quite different in 4.0 compared to 3.4. You need the 'newpcm' driver in 4.0. (I thought that snd is still available?). Well, see LINT :-). Maybe also a new device entry in /dev, since the numbering might have changed. pci cards should now also start at snd0 instead of snd1 (if memory serves me right). Well, it shouldn't be too difficult to get everything working again once you have your custom kernel running with support for all your devices. Karel.
