Little FYI/Tip or you. When I build a kernel, I do something like the |
| 5 |
following: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Leviathan boot # tree |
| 8 |
. |
| 9 |
|-- 2.6.23-r6 |
| 10 |
| |-- Config.Leviathan |
| 11 |
| |-- Leviathan |
| 12 |
| `-- System.map-Leviathan |
| 13 |
|-- 2.6.23-r8 |
| 14 |
| |-- Config.Leviathan |
| 15 |
| |-- Leviathan |
| 16 |
| `-- System.map-Leviathan |
| 17 |
|-- boot -> . |
| 18 |
|-- grub |
| 19 |
| |-- default |
| 20 |
| |-- device.map |
| 21 |
| |-- e2fs_stage1_5 |
| 22 |
| |-- fat_stage1_5 |
| 23 |
| |-- ffs_stage1_5 |
| 24 |
| |-- grub.conf |
| 25 |
| |-- grub.conf.sample |
| 26 |
| |-- grub.conf~ |
| 27 |
| |-- iso9660_stage1_5 |
| 28 |
| |-- jfs_stage1_5 |
| 29 |
| |-- menu.lst -> grub.conf |
| 30 |
| |-- minix_stage1_5 |
| 31 |
| |-- reiserfs_stage1_5 |
| 32 |
| |-- splash.xpm.gz |
| 33 |
| |-- stage1 |
| 34 |
| |-- stage2 |
| 35 |
| |-- stage2_eltorito |
| 36 |
| |-- ufs2_stage1_5 |
| 37 |
| |-- vstafs_stage1_5 |
| 38 |
| `-- xfs_stage1_5 |
| 39 |
`-- lost+found |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
5 directories, 26 files |
| 42 |
Leviathan boot # |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
As you can see, for each kernel I make, I copy the .config to the |
| 46 |
/boot/<`uname-r`>/ dir so that I always have a copy. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
But to answer your original request, you can try looking for |
| 49 |
/proc/config.gz .... there is an option (I believe it is the default |
| 50 |
setting) to throw a copy of /usr/src/linux/.config in there. If it is |
| 51 |
there, you can do something like this |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
- -> gzcat /proc/config.gz >>/usr/src/linux/.config <-- |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Give that a shot and see what happens. |
