Rather than to perform the slave-labor of going through every

features.

Well, this is my actual problem. My working kernel does not have
a /proc/config.gz. It's the one that came with Debian etch and was upgraded
several times (2.6.18.6). I just have to change a single option (use bt848
instead of bt878), but I had to start from scratch (using some config from
2006 I found somewhere). Unfortunately it always hangs during boot at some
USB related step.

It would help if I could retrieve the config of the working kernel somehow.

As you said: "Grab a .config file from your Debian stock kernel". How?

Thanks
