If you've compiled a kernel before, you should still have a file called
/usr/src/linux/.config that contains the kernel config (assuming you
built your kernel in the "standard place", eg /usr/src/linux).

On debian systems, the config is part of the kernel-image-<version> pkg
and ends up under /boot/config-<version>
