Yeah, I had this same delay also.  I can't remember exactly what I 
did to fix it.  I'd be afraid to give you any advice.  Possibly check 
your aliases file in /etc.

Make sure you are (as root) in /usr/src/linux when you type  "make config"
 or "make Xconfig" or "make menuconfig" from a term window.  That's 
"make xconfig" not "make Xconfig".

Good luck!  I hope I haven't told you wrong..I'm new to this too and 
have had some of the same problems as you.
