What I usually do (also with an update within the same branch): take
the GENERIC config, edit it to suit the needs and of course rename it.
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.
