What .config did you use? If you just made small modifications it would
be nice to write which ones (you can use diff).

How can i do this ???i over written the .config file that was there with the one that is provided by the 2.6.18.6 <http://2.6.18.6> kernel by default. i just did minor modifications like add sata driver support because it was not enabled.
The kernel has changed quite a lot since .18.
If you want to use the existing 2.6.18 .config file (which *is* reasonable!), you need to run
$ make clean
$ make oldconfig
This takes and updates the .config file with all the stuff that's been added since 2.6.18, while prompting you to choose what "new stuff" you want added to your kernel.
