Are you using an rpm to get your kernel source or a tarball?
anyway, dont' make mrproper before you make dep. I'm not sure of xconfig is
still broken or not, so stick with menuconfig.
it believe the proper order is make mrproper;make menuconfig;make dep;make
clean;make bzdisk;make boot (maybe not?);make modules;make modules_install
