I assume you are trying to bootstrap a 2.1.5 kernel from a 2.1 system?

Remember that /usr/sbin/config is closely related to the kernel
source, thus you ought to upgrade this first, and reconfig the kernel
with the new config(8) program.

Note that you _must_ upgrade the userland stuff afterwards, otherwise
the system will behave very weird, in particular kernel-dependent
utilities like ps(1) or netstat(1).
