Não é recomendado apenas um make menuconfig
. A configuração necessária depende de três coisas:
the hardware being used
the features used by the OS/distribution
the features by you (file-systems, raid, ..etc)
Portanto, a configuração "padrão" recomendada na minha opinião é:
cd your_kernel_src
cp /boot/your-distribution-config .config
make localmodconfig
make menuconfig
Veja também Configuração do Kernel para distribuições . O primeiro parágrafo:
Configuring a kernel was once a fairly straightforward process, only requiring knowledge of what hardware needs to be supported. Over time, things have gotten more complex in general, but distributions have added their own sets of dependencies on specific kernel features—dependencies that can be difficult for regular users to figure out. That led Linus Torvalds to put out an RFC proposal to add distribution-specific kernel configuration options.
