as far as i know xconfig should read the .config file of the running kernel if there is no other. i have poor experience with that, but it worked for me for a couple of times.
In my experience, make xconfig and make menuconfig both read the .config file in the source directory, which is present when you install the sources. I've tried copying the appropriate config file from the /boot directory and loading that, but without success. :-( Regards, Rossc.
