make menuconfig problem

I'm compiling kernel 2.6.22 downloaded from kernel.org.  When running "make
menuconfig", it says:
  scripts/kconfig/conf arch/ppc/Kconfig
  #
  # using defaults found in /boot/config-2.6.3-7mdksmp
  #

So by default it's using the config file in /boot directory, which is not
correct.
  
I checked the source directory and notice that there's no .config file
present.  Could anybody tell me what I should do on this?

Thanks!
