I've seen similar problems before, and it happened when I tried to add IP 
tables support to an existing kernel.  Is this what you are trying to do?

I don't know if this will help, but:

Did you execute "make clean" on the kernel tree before compiling?  If so, then 
you might want to copy your ".config" in the root of the kernel source to 
your home directory, executing "make mrproper" and then copying the config 
back.  (I've seen some wonkiness with dependency checking on the Gentoo take 
on the Linux kernel.)

So something like:

make clean
make dep bzImage modules modules_install

Check to see if it works.  If not....

cp .config ~/
make mrproper
cp ~/.config .
make dep bzImage modules modules_install



Good luck,
Doug.
