Try this:

Go to the build root directory (typically BUILD/kernel-xxx/linux-yyy/
and confirm you have a .config file.  Then issue a command:

make oldconfig

This should run through without your input. But if it prompts for your
answer, then that is the problem. If this happens, try completing the
run by providing proper answers. It will create a new .config file.
From here, refer to this wiki:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

In section 2. 'Configuring the kernel', locate the line that starts
with "First run make oldconfig." and follow the instructions from
there.
