Could you send us exactly what the error message is? It might be that
someone on the list recognises it, or we might be able to find it in the
kernel sources to find exactly what causes the kernel to complain.

The good news is that the only problem is in the kernel, and that's
usually not too hard to fix.

P.S. I am shooting in the dark a little, as I've never used the gentoo
build system (can someone else help here??), although I've played quite
a bit with kernel compilation when getting software suspend to work on
the laptop (I reckon ~25 different compiles to get the flipping options
right!)
