touched made the difference.
Fortunately the help is very helpful, and you can opt
for making just the module if you are uncertain....
In my latest effort, with 2.6.15.6, I did manage to get
rid of a lot of options. I think especially getting
rid of the legacy ISA, EISA, etc. stuff has made the
kernel boot much faster. And replacing hotplug with udev
has also vastly sped up the init process.

;) I find dealing with stock kernels to be a waste
of time. It takes me
five minutes to answer the make oldconfig questions.
Of course it takes forever if you read and try to understand every
question. Just hit "enter" a bunch of times.
