Here's the list in order of seach: 1. local .config file (in tree root) 2. /proc/config.gz 3. /boot/config-`uname -r` 4. /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r` (extracts .config if configured in) 5. vmlinux (local built vmlinux if .config is configured in) 6. /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/kernel/configs.ko 7. kernel/configs.ko 8. kernel/configs.o I originally had /proc/config.gz but Andi Kleen correctly pointed out that it would be more intuitive if we use the local .config first. This would be something that I myself would expect. If you don't want the local .config used, then simply delete it. > > Fair enough - forget my suggestion. It's good as-is. Great!
