It isn't really practical to try to provide info on all BIOS options. We tried
with http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/c122.html#AEN124
and  http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#sh1 but people rarely read
the documentation, and even particular manufacturers make random
changes from one BIOS release to the next. 

Again, randomly copying .config files and not checking what might
have changed is asking for trouble. What made you expect that 
the .config for a particular kernel would work on another kernel?
