[SOLVED] Exporting config.gz without booting

[Manu311]

Hey,

since I accidently wiped my gentoo install and changed the partitiontable for that my old kernel can't boot anymore. I've used the new efi stub so it is hardcompiled where the root system is located.
When I try to boot that kernel (which still is referenced inside my efi) it freezes because it can't find the root partition (it doesn't ask me to define it myself).
Initrd is reachable since it's also on the efi partition.

Now since I spend a lot of time into configurating that kernel and don't want to do that again, I would like to export the configfile from the old one (since the one in the sources is wiped with the rest of my old partition), is that possible? I've compiled config.gz support inside my kernel, so being able to boot it would also solve my problem.

Thanks for your help

Manu311,

I'm not 100% sure what you want to do but I think you need
