The first time you compile a kernel on a new computer all you have is the generic config from the distro you used to install LFS. It would be nice if there was a simple script that would use lsmod, lspci, lshw, dmidecode or whatever to probe the hardware and write a basic .config for you that would at least have some sensible defaults and would boot. If you just took the ubunut (or whatever) .config it would have _everything_ enabled as a module and it would take forever to compile. A script that at least disabled support for hardware you don't have would save a lot of time.
