Host is windows 7. In the past I've lost lots of time doing this: Getting the right drivers into the kernel build. My equipment is nothing weird... a Sager NP8760 Laptop with an older i7 and 8GB ram. I wondered if anyone can offer a `.config' for a very recent kernel or at least not ancient that they know will build a bootable (in the env mentinoed above) kernel. I've been off this list for many months, but have spent yrs here... recently been running debian but spent something like 7-8 yrs on gentoo. Anything that might ease the process of building a functional setup as vbox guest would be most welcome here.
