    One way would be to list all of the modules the default kernel is loading and to only include that hardware support into your config.

    a) If you generated the .debs to install using the the instructions in this thread, it's simply a matter of removing the associated packages.

    They'll all be in the Ubuntu Kernel sources that are easily available for download. Simply a matter of grabbing the patches and editing slightly to avoid rejects for the new kernel.

    That's a big difference as far as kernel processor optimizations are concerned.

    Yup, depmod creates modules.dep and associated file...though that should have been taken care of automagically. A sudo depmod -a will do the trick if you're booted with the custom kernel.
