Description

If the kernel config is not up to date, "make oldconfig" can wait for user input, causing 1002-kernel to hang indefinitely.

We can use "make olddefconfig" instead of "make oldconfig", or add a timeout for "make oldconfig" and print an error message telling the user to update kernel-config file if the timeout is triggered.
