I run:

$ yes "" | make oldconfig

to just pick the default answer for all the questions.  It works
almost all of the time.  Only recent break was when using
a RHEL config as the start point some change in the MPT2SAS
and MPT3SAS bits left me with a kernel with no driver to get to
my root file system.
