Recovering a kernel .config

[J T Dsouza]

Is there a shortcut to recover a lost kernel .config. .oldconfig is also lost and the kernel itself does not have /proc/config.gz enabled. I had tarred my source tree with everything else intact, save those two files. I dont know wtf i did not tar the .config.

Pre-packaged kernels put a config in /boot. Not sure if it is the kernel build/install system doing it or the package management system. No harm in looking, right?

Not of much use in a cross environment.
I did  a new config, but I am getting wierd kernel oops on network and trial and error is a pita in a cross env.

The  one which I had done a couple of months back works like charm, save the two modules I need and dont have.  Feel like shooting myself, rather than wade thru all the modules and kconfig files.
Oh well, idiocy has it's charms.
