Ummm..this sounds a but strange to me. xconfig has worked just fine
through the 2.2. series, and the kernel you're running plays no role on
the .conifg you generate. I would suggest you copy out the .config file,
run make mrproper to clean everything out, and then run make xconfig. If
that still fails then SuSE has added some patches that don't agree with
make xconfig.
