How did you configure it? Did you run "make menuconfig"? Did you copy an old .config file over? If so, did you run "make oldconfig"?

Ran menuconfig and wrote the config file. Copied it elsewhere and did the "emerge unmerge vanilla-sources". Then copied in the config file. Rechecked it by running menuconfig again and examining it that way. Did not write the file again from menuconfig. Did the build from this point.

What is old_config?

oldconfig is useful when you copy over an old config file from a previous kernel. It's like "make config", but only asks you new questions. There are some things (like making that autoconf.h) that are done by all the *configs, and I think you have to run one of them or kernels won't build properly. That's been my experience, at least.

Yup. That was it. Just did "make menuconfig" and actually wrote the file without changing anything and the kernel would build. Thank you.
