Hello, trying to compile kernel linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7 but get following error:

No worries found problem

In make oldconfig be alert after the 1st question about firmware, there is a step when there is no option, (no Y/n/?) so just hit enter and continue with the rest.


Code:
Userspace firmware loading support (FW_LOADER) [Y/?] y
  Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary (FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL) [Y/n/?] (NEW)


I selected no.


Code:
External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary (EXTRA_FIRMWARE) [] (NEW)


Just hit enter after this one. Continue normally on all other questions.
I know this is vague, but it worked for me and I hope it does for you too
