Yeah, I found this old thread http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/16/290 that
mentions autokernconf and a couple of other scripts but I've not yet
found one that works any better than make menuconfig. I'm sure it's
doable to automatically generate a basic kernel config; a config that
has been trimmed down to the essentials needed to boot on a particular
machine. But it would probably a Labour of Sisiphus to keep up to date
with the changing kernel and all the different hardware configurations
to test on. It would probably be a somewhat thankless task with users
only giving feedback when it didn't work.
