Looking for the list of config options used for the kernel
I'm trying to track down the cause of an ACPI-related (I think, anyway) problem and I'm looking for the kernel configuration options that were used to build the Leap 15.1 kernels. I seem to remember that these were included when you installed the OS but I'm drawing a blank as to where it might be saved on disk. I thought they'd be somewhere under /usr/src/linux but so far my searching hasn't found anything. (I should note that I might very well be remembering that such a file was included back when I was using an entirely different Linux distribution.)
Does Leap include such a file with the list of options selected for the kernel build? If so, where should I find it?

Normally, don't know about Leap specificaly, its the config, or config-<some_version> file in the /boot directory (where the kernel itself is too, unless you're using EFI).

Whoops! sorry. /usr/src/linux/.config . I keep an archive of all my configs, useful to keep track of changes. I edit it by hand sometimes.
