Once you use -c to change your kernel options things will run fine, until you recompile your kernel and reboot to use it. Then you will notice that all settings are back to the old way. Kind of a pain to change that every time. Best way is to go in to the source and edit the settings in there, that way each time you add something new (hardware or what have you...) it does not require you to do a -c again.
