Thanks.  I compile from a separate directory so that I don't screw up 
my old kernel.  But I found the line at the end that says "load an 
alternate configuration".

Hmmm. 4.1.0 makes noises about something missing when I make xconfig.  
But menuconfig is working so I'm using that for now.
Interrupt problems are now gone with the new kernel.  We'll see if 
noatun works.  Maybe sound someday soon.
