if the config-file matches the kernel version a copy should be enough
as I understand it, oldconfig is only required with a new or modified
kernel-version
i.O. to update it for new config-options.

it doesn't have all the config options then;

with some exeptions m should be ok,
but just hitting enter, without understanding what happens
can blaot/break your kernel config (with incompatible/unrecommended
options etc.)
so it's a good idea to "?" first.
I would expect [enter] to choose a reasonable default, but who knows...
regarding your problem:
I would guess a misconfiguration of your system
( maybe it's grub, maybe fstab, initrd.img, ... )
and btw.: please don't always quote the whole message on reply
just necessary phrases with direct relation.
in general we all know, what has been written before in the discussion-thread...
