"As long as it available", but is it? I thought the Debian kernels are built without CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC because that wastes some memory and the config is always available from /boot/config-$(uname-r). > Either way, I suggest to go through the hassle to start with a minimal > configuration and only enable those options you need now (or which you > think you may need later). This has two main benefits: kernel compile > time drops *significantly* and you don't need to mess with initrds. And has the additional benefit that you learn a lot the hard way by building kernels that fail to boot or lack important features. In this case, however, it is best not to bother with make-kpkg at all; the "make && make install && make modules_install" triplet will save a lot of time on subsequent compilations.
