    1. Edit the file .config in the 'base' directory containing your linux kernel.
    2. Look for the definition of CONFIG_IKCONFIG.
    3. Change:
          CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y
       to:
          # CONFIG_IKCONFIG is not set

    You could also do this via "make menuconfig"
      General setup  --->
        <*> Kernel .config support


      Press Spacebar to deselect the option so that it appears as:
        < > Kernel .config support

    There was a thread with the same topic few days ago. Just to repeat my recommendation:
    Go through the wiki page: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Optimize_Linux_Boot_Time

    Though it uses AM37x for illustration, most of the concepts are generic Linux and should apply even to your kernel as well.
