Which was the last good kernel version? If you attempt to recompile that good version now, does it succeed?
It was linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 and it was fine as it was a fresh install until I recompiled it, which was when that error appeared. I have since re-installed and moved to linux-2.6.13-gentoo-r2 and have no problems now.
Ok, marking as fixed
