a while back giacomo catenazzi (probably spelled wrong) hacked up some goodies to autodetect what hardware driver options are appropriate for your system, based on contents of various bits of /proc. i haven't heard anything about it in quite some time but it sure seems like this would be the most appropriate tool for cases like yours.
i believe it generated a baseline .config with appropriate things enabled; having done that you then went through menuconfig enabling other things you wanted, like filesystems, non-autodetect-able hardware, etc.
