How do I go about fixing this? Im on ppc, if that affects anything.

Well... you need to install a new kernel. I had the same issue. You might do it a little different than me, so follow the Kernel Upgrade Guide.

I emerged the newest sources, copied my config over, and did the regular menuconfig. I dont' use genkernel.

Hope this helps

If you copy your old .config, it's good to use make oldconfig - .config'll be automatically converted, for new kernel featires you will be asked.

I emerged the new kernel, linked it, and for some reason it wont let me create modules. aka Pressing M for module does nothing in the make menuconfig kernel part. I made a kernel with all options embedded, and it does not boot. Locks up on the first white screen. Tried genkernel. Cant figure out how to make it work, says missing .config. no whre does it say it requires a .config file. + I already have a .config from my past kernel. Someone wanna walk me throught this? Thanks.

Did you follow the kernel upgrade guide? as to why it won't let you build a module, that is strange and might belong on a kernel group.

I did this to pull down the new version of the sources. The symlink use updates where the source simling for /usr/src/linux points, that's all.
