Hi,

I would advise you to look at the OE recipies for building kernels for 
various machines (../org.openembedded.dev/packages/linux). You can see 
there how kernels are build and understand some details. It's what I 
did. 'make oldconfig' will build your kernel using .config.old and I 
suppose that's why your changes to the configuration do not apply.
