if the config-file matches the kernel version a copy should be enough
as I understand it, oldconfig is only required with a new or modified

kernel-version

i.O. to update it for new config-options.

it doesn't have all the config options then;

with some exeptions m should be ok,

but just hitting enter, without understanding what happens

can blaot/break your kernel config (with incompatible/unrecommended

options etc.)

so it's a good idea to "?" first.

I would expect [enter] to choose a reasonable default, but who knows...
regarding your problem:

I would guess a misconfiguration of your system

( maybe it's grub, maybe fstab, initrd.img, ... )
and btw.: please don't always quote the whole message on reply

just necessary phrases with direct relation.

in general we all know, what has been written before in the discussion-thread...
