2 - On the laptop run:
lsmod > /tmp/jitendra-laptop
This will store the currently loaded modules in the laptop to the file:
/tmp/jitendra-laptop
3 - Pass it in as a LSMOD parameter to make:
make LSMOD=/tmp/jitendra-laptop localmodconfig

1 - Plug in and turn on *all* your external devices, this step is to ensure that
the laptop kernel loads all the required modules for your devices.
the laptop kernel loads all the required modules for your devices.
2 - On the laptop run:
lsmod > /tmp/jitendra-laptop
This will store the currently loaded modules in the laptop to the file:
/tmp/jitendra-laptop
3 - Pass it in as a LSMOD parameter to make:
make LSMOD=/tmp/jitendra-laptop localmodconfig
4 - Done !
5 - Install
ccache. It will improve your build time dramatically. It caches objects. So it will reduce subsequent builds.Some interesting history about localmodconfig is here:
