I was updating my system and the nvidia drivers complained that there
was no .config in /usr/src/linux.

I looked at it was gone.
This has happened before.
Is this some bug?
I am running on amd64.

Unfortunately I do not have a current copy of .config.
Does anyone know a less painful way of rebuilding than through make
menuconfig?
I have got to remember to make a backup.

Thanks

So, you have the symlink useflag enabled?

Just look into your old kernel-dir. And don't remove that stuff.

You might also find the config in /boot. If you used make install to install
your kernel.

You may have one, try "zcat /proc/config.gz". You need to have kernel option
"General setup -> Enable acces to .config through /proc/config.gz" enabled.
But I still copy the .config to /boot along with the kernel.
