Ein? What the heck is a jumbo kernel?
I mean a kernel that was built with a .config that compiles every available module in the hope that it will take advantage of every available hardware on most machines. I want to create a .config that exactly matches the hardware of a particular computer.
AFAICT, you'll have to manually configure the kernel. I don't know of any automatic tool that is able to create a .config for you that reflect your exact hardware configuration.
What I usually do is doing an inventory of the hardware the machine has currently attached or any future hardware I could think of pluggin in. Then, I leave only the essential built into the kernel, and the rest as modules.
