You can use the old config from your kernel: copy the file '.config' to 
your new kernel source directory and enter 'make oldconfig'. Then you 
only have to decide new config options which did not existed on the old 
kernel, usually the default options are safe.

The old configs are usually available under /usr/src/linux/.config, 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/.config or /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/build/.config.
