Did you configure the kernel sources? If not, 2.6 kernels have
a feature that keeps a gzipped .config in /proc/config.gz. If
enabled in your current kernel, try:

# gzcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.6/.config

and try your compile again. Otherwise you'll have to do it
manually.
