There are a couple of ways to do this. I haven't played with
Fedora so these options are rather generic. 

1. Check and see if there is config.gz in /proc. This is your
current kernel configuration. You can do a "zcat /proc/config.gz
/usr/src/linux/.config" to use the orgional configuration. If the
origional kernel was built with Kernel .config support. The option
is in General. 

2. Older versions Red Hat and their Enterprise distro used to have
a config directory. That contains the default configs for the red
hat kernels. 

3. You might want to try using "make defconfig". I haven't played
with this. But from what I've read (just now)on it is supposed to
use a default configuration. 

Be warned I don't know if options 1 or 2 will work 100% or not if
the kernel versions are different. Perhaps some one could clarify
this?
