Though It is an old thread but I wanted to update today I needed it
because of a similar error.
In above step 8 and step 6 are wrong.When you do a make mrproper to
which ever directory you basically are
deleting the config generated or you saved.
That means if you did following
1) Download the kernel and untar
2) cp /boot/config-whatever /to/directory/which/will/be/argument/of/O
then
3) make O=$HOME/btc mrproper
then you deleted the config in step 2.
Also for  make O=$HOME/btc menuconfig to work
.config should be in $HOME/btc and not in $HOME/linux-2.6
as I mentioned above in step6.That was a mistake.
