twobit,

Code:
00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S High Definition Audio (rev a1)

Needs the F
Code:
ATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.39-gentoo-r3/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Invalid module format [ !! ]
driver but yours is broken.

There are two reasons for this. sys-apps/module-init-tools is in a mess. It provides modprobe and friends. Its worth doing
Code:
emerge -1 sys-apps/module-init-tools
and testing, as its by far the faster fix if it works.

The alternative is that your kernel is in a mess. Rebuild it and reinstall it starting with
Code:
make clean
before you do make.
This will remove all of the .o files so make will not be able to take any shortcuts as it would normally by reusing unchanged .o files.

Unfortunately, make isn't 100% at detecting when files need to be rebuilt and make clean will force the issue.

twobit,

You have not installed your kernel properly.

What is the time and date shown in
Code:
uname -a
That shows the build time of the running kernel.
It should be very recent as you have only just recompiled your kernel, installed it and rebooted.

A common error is to forget the
Code:
mount /boot
step before your copy your kernel to /boot, then the kernel is installed in the wrong place. You could also have copied the kernel to the right place but made an error in the filename, so that grub still loads your old kernel.

----edit----

Please post your /boot/grub/grub.conf file and the output of
Code:
ls -l boot

After several re compiles ... and going through the steps I seemed to have caught whatever i missed, and all is working now. but it is frustrating that i am unsure of what actually fixed it. -Thanks for all the help
