Why a modified kernel?  And furthermore, where did it come from?  If 
there's specific reason, that's fine, but you might do better with a 
mandrake kernel.  Available for 10.0 is 2.6.3x, and available for cooker 
is 2.6.7x.  Get the kernel and the source and the build directory will 
be automatically linked for you.

.config is created when you compile the kernel (actually when you pick 
the settings for the kernel).  It is available automatically in the 
kernel rpms from mandrake.  If you want to stick to your current kernel, 
you will need to gmake xconfig; or gmake menuconfig;.  Although I wonder 
if you have the source in the first place.  Make sure 
/lib/modules/2.4.22-28mdk/build is a link that points to 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-28mdk.  Keep in mind that the directories should 
match the string in uname -r.
