 There you will find the configuration files in the subdirectory <code>config/*.config</code>. Copy the one you want to modifiy to <code>$TOPDIR/BUILD/kernel-{{kver}}/linux-{{kver}}/.config</code>. Then you can do a make menuconfig or something similar to adjust the kernel configuration. Note that some kernel configuration issues are described at [[kernel configuration]].
