Hi!
Where do you get the config file from? or do you generate it yourself?
Where do you get the config file from? or do you generate it yourself?
I'm using xUbuntu 16.04 in a VM inside VMWare, following the instructions described in kernelnewbies wiki. (By the way, the download links to the iso images of Ubuntu don't work for me)
If I copy the latest config file in /boot, kernel 4.4.0, it starts to ask me many config parameters that I don't know what to answer. I tried to press always <enter> to set up the default parameters, but after compiling I get an error trying to boot from that kernel (see atachment).
I tried with make menuconfig and that seems to work, but it takes too long because it builds and includes many many drivers modules.
Yeah, I know I could navigate through the ncurses window and select the stuff I want and deselect what I don't want, but I'd rather prefer just a simple config file that builds and works and don't waste time in understanding all the stuff that it's in there.

So, isn't there a way to get a simple config file just to develop kernel stuff for an Ubuntu image?
I've even gone to the kernel ppa sources for Ubuntu: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.9.5/; but it only provides a patch using the debian config files (which don't come from git sources of course).
I just want a config file, copy it to the kernel root code and compile.
