Thanks to the following for replies:
hans@smab.se (Hans C Larsson)
Dieter Muller <dworkin@merlin.rootgroup.com>
mcdonald@xenon.brooks.af.mil (Shawn McDonald)
melissa@spanky.Jpl.Nasa.Gov (Melissa Probst)
Replies fell into two categories: (1) merge the old kernel
config file with the 4.1.2 GENERIC kernel because there are
syntax changes in 4.1.2; and (2) be sure to remove the old
subdirectory containing the specific files for the system
(/sys/sun4c/MYSYSTEM) and re-run 'config'.
In my particular case, I cloned the entire /sys filetree
from another system already running 4.1.2 and the existing
kernel config file worked OK.
