Firstly WIthout .config file you cannot build you kernel source (either you need to manually enalbe or disable the modules or use the config of the same machine to build)

  1. Go to /boot

  2. You will find the default configuration file like config-3.2.03-generic suitable for your machine

  3. Copy that config file to your kernel source folder as .config

  4. then make menuconfig, save and exit

  5. make to build the kernel source, hope you will not that error if you follow these steps
