If you're using a recent distribution your .config file is saved for
you. This is on a hamm system:

$ ls /boot
System.map-2.0.34  chain.b            mbr.b
boot.0303          config-2.0.34      os2_d.b
boot.b             map                vmlinuz-2.0.34

config-2.0.34 is just what you think it is:

$ diff /boot/config-2.0.34 /usr/src/linux/.config
$
