generate automatic Kernel config from lsmod

Do you know if there is a tool that would generate a config file to recompile my kernel using an lsmod output to detect what modules are needed by the system? What I'd like to do is to recompile setting all the modules directly in the kernel so to achieve faster boot times.

is supported in kernel. localmodconfig or something like that. is described here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source

wow that is as easy as "make localmodconfig"
gotta love that! thanks.

If you want to compile everything in the kernel, localyesconfig may also be interesting for you:

localyesconfig - Update current config converting local mods to core

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g … g/Makefile (see the help target)

And that is exactly what I needed. Thanks.

update: localyesconfig doesn't really seem to work out of the box on my desktop. I get a very annoying kernel panic at boot. I'll try to troubleshoot it.
