You've probably guessed it by now: there isn't one because the initial
kernel's precompiled. I don't know of a definitive way of recreating
such a file. I can suggest only that you look at what hardware's
recognised and which daemons are started at boot-time (run
"/etc/dmesg"), and look around /proc for recognised devices and
interrupts.
Does someone on the list know a better way?
