Is there a Map: modules to configration parameters? "lspci -k" lists me all modules of the running genkernel. Unfortunately the configuration parameters of the kernel have different names. 2.) Which approach would you recommend? To customize the kernel I can either strip down the configuration of the genkernel or start with an empty .config file. 3.) Is there a concept behind the default settings of make menuconfig if you start with an empty .config? I don't see it. 4.) Is there a concept behind the default settings of make if .config is empty? Similar question. Running make with an empty .config file starts a questionary on the shell, with given default settings. Accepting all defaults doesn't even contain ext2 or ext3 on the one hand, but a few comparingly rare selections on the other. 5.) Where are my platform specific drivers? X86 Platform Specific Device Drivers ---> I get them if I strip down genkernel. Now I started with the shell questionary and than I edit the result with menuconfig. The submenu doesn't open or is empty. Al
