On a stock kernel, /proc/config.gz should exist. Ungzip it and overwrite the
.config in your kernel source tree with it.
If not, /boot/config-[kernelversion] should have been installed as part of
the kernel .deb package. You can use that too.
If this is a newer kernel version, run "make oldconfig" to ask you about
only the things not mentioned in your existing .config file.
