Hopefully not. Okay, first thing to check...
/usr/src/linux is normally a symlink (think shortcut) to /usr/src/linux-2.x.x
(replace x with your kernel version). So type "ls -l /usr/src/" (no
quotes) if you see a directory like /usr/src/linux-2.x.x you'll fix
your problem in about 10 seconds. More about that in a minute.
If you don't see a linux-2.x.x directory the fix will take a wee bit
longer. You'll need to download the kernel source.
Now, for that 10 second fix...
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-`uname -r` linux
cd linux
make menuconfig
