With the new 2.6.15+ kernels, there's a new mini-config option that might be of great use for initial kernels. There's also an allnoconfig and other auto options that could use a mention in the book to help simplify kernel configuration, which is a very difficult task.
I tried the mini-config set-up, but the kernel build failed at kernel/pci, so it's not fool-proof yet, but it is something to watch out for. Maybe a basic mini-config that builds could be suggested for the initial kernel, to get people going. Then they can dig deeper into the kernel config at their leisure once they have a booting system to start with? Just a suggestion.
