No it isn't, it's normal. I don't for one single second believe that you have the .config of the 4th kernel that you installed on the machine in the first room on the third corridor of the second level of the building over the road two years ago.
Natch, YOU put it on the machine, but since then they've had a few system crashes, and they've tried a few things, and anyway, your kernel is the only one that's ever worked on their adaptec bus with the hp surestore that can't be terminated actively without killing the machine, and they'd _really_ like to know what the magic combo you used to compile it with is.
Get real.
