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.
