You should be able to just move to /usr/src/linux and type "make menuconfig" and it should open up your current configuration to look through...

In the end you must not save any settings you have made within menuconfig. You can also inspect the file /usr/src/linux/.config. There are also some other options like make xconfig, which I never use.

Nex time you rebuild your kernel, enable the following under make menuconfig :
| Code: | General Setup --->
[*] Kernel .config support
[*] Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz |
This will allow you to reliable access ther .config of the currently running kernel, e.g. :
| Code: | | zcat /proc/config.gz > /some/path/.config |
| Code: | | zgrep -i "something" /proc/config.gz |
