Hi,
I'm trying to install the kernel from the source.
So I did:
$ cp /boot/config-3.2.0-29-generic-pae .config
And run:
$ make localmodconfig
Then it says:
using config: '.config'
module lpc_ich did not have configs CONFIG_LPC_ICH
module hid_generic did not have configs CONFIG_HID_GENERIC
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* General setup
*
Cross-compiler tool prefix (CROSS_COMPILE) []
Compile also drivers which will not load (COMPILE_TEST) [N/y/?] (NEW)
What I'm doing wrong? I want it to use my .config, I don't want to
answer all the thousands questions it prompts me (I don't know all the
options to know what should go and what should not, hence I want it to
use my current configuration).
My .config is attached.

Hi! If you want to use the existing .config file, you should use `make oldconfig` instead. It may still prompt for options not in the file; to use the default ones, just do `yes "" | make oldconfig`. -

Yeah, it still prompts me, which is annoying. But anyway, I'll try
your suggestion.
Thanks!
