I usually boot a recent liveCD - e.g. the most recent systemrescuecd - and copy its /proc/config.gz to a textfile. |

With this approach, I don't think I've ever found the result lacking - the only thing you need to worry about is that drivers for your hard-drive controller and filesystem are compiled in statically. LiveCD kernels include driver modules for almost every eventuality, likely every component of your laptop. |

If you look at the current systemrescuecd it has a 3.14.x kernel (using the alternative options in the boot menu), and there are 3.14.x kernels in the portage tree. IMO that's a close enough match to start with. |
