If you have installed the kernel source, you cd into that directory. read the README. There are several make options. You perform a "make cloneconfig" to set the configuration to the current system you are running. make xconfig - This allows you to alter the configuration using X make menuconfig - same except it is for a text based menu make config - text based.
The one I use is make oldconfig. Copy and gunzip /proc/config.gz in the top of the kernel sources (/usr/src/linux, on mine). Do "cp config .config" in the same directory. Make oldconfig. This reads your running kernel and its setup and translates it into the makefiles, I believe. After this you need to do a "make dep" for the dependencies.
