Well there are 2 issues here:

1) How to handle "make oldconfig" on 2.4 config files. Which may not be
fixable in a manner that doesn't involve really ugly code.

2) That make menuconfig|xconfig on a clean 2.6 tree results in a kernel
that doesn't have console support. This will be something that will
come up over and over again in the future, and does not require ugly
hacks to fix.
