I usually keep a copy in /boot just in case (not like I am using the |
| 16 |
space for anything else...) |

If you have enabled the option in the kernel, you can access the |
| 19 |
current configs via zcat /proc/config.gz, but like I said, you needed |
| 20 |
to have the foresight to have enabled the option. |

Also, check the symlink for /usr/src/linux? You might have the symlink |
| 23 |
USE flag set, then if the 'updating of the system' brought in a new |
| 24 |
kernel tree, your /usr/src/linux will point to the now new and |
| 25 |
unconfigured version. |
