One thing to check is that "make oldconfig" can actually change the configuration if things were moved behind a new top-level configuration parameter or such. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's possible that things like the i2c changes might have made you inadvertedly changed some config option. > Is this considered a regression or can be due to userland incompatibilities? It's a regression, although I'd like to know more about your cases. It's just hard to tell what happened: was it a i2c/hwmon driver that got broken, or is it some sysfs file that got buggered, or what.. For example, "dmesg" output before and after (preferably as a diff between the two), and what modules you had loaded in the working/nonworking case.
