Hello,
you can get .config files in two ways, firstly get the existing .config file and compile to kernel.
$ cp /boot/config-x.x.x /bla/linux/.config
Second, use the generate command:
$ make defconfig

Hi!
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.Greetings,
Abel
