Well, this one and 77181 are all too familiar. The exact same thing is happening to me, except that the solution proposed here does not solve my problem...I still get it. I started to download and install gentoo (it turned out 2.4.28-gentoo-r6)several nights agr, and after getting the error message I came here, downloaded the config file and proceeded as indicated. Except that my genkernel command does not have a "--config" option, so, instead, I am using "--kernel-config". Please, help, I would appreciate further advice.
It's fixed in -r7; please try that.
