The (lab126) kernel source packages are notoriously crappy, with missing configs and/or files, depending on the version.

We'll need more details:

* Which exact source code package did you use?
* What did you try, and what output did that trigger, in detail?

And, stupid sidenote, but you never know: have you actually ever rolled a Linux kernel manually (native or not)? (because that would certainly help).
