re-compile problem

I have been getting my system more and more correct with each re-compliation, but I broke it last night. My most recent alterations were to correct the IDE drivers to via82xx as described in a recent post.

Having re-compiled etc, what I now get when I re-boot is:

Loading Gentoo ......
BIOS data check successful
Uncompressing Linux
Invalid compression format (err =2)

- - system halted

I copied over the .config.old file and re-comiled again, but get the same error. So if it is a corrupt .config, I've done it to my backup too - didn't keep a copy, silly boy.

Any help anyone?
