Are you in the uppermost directory of the source code? Ie, if you are trying to build the 2.4.6 kernel and you untarred it it /usr/src -- untarring the source code creates a directory /usr/src/linux, cd into '/usr/src/linux' and execute your 'make xconfig'.
If you are in this directory and it still doesn't work, try 'make menuconfig', your source tree might have gotten corrupt in some way. If you can do one and not the other, I suggest redownloading the source, untar it again and start from scratch, something is horribly wrong.
Hope this helps,
Paul
