I'll keep it for the next trial build.
Thanks Gus

Here's my suggestion to minimize the thinking and wondering. Since the live CD obviously booted and worked on your system, why not use it as a starting point for your custom kernel? When you just run make menuconfig it starts with some default that may not work for anyone. To get the live cd's config, try the following:
right before you: chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash, do this:
cat /proc/config > /mnt/gentoo/root/config
then, right before: make menuconfig, do this:
cp /root/config /usr/src/linux/.config
that puts the livecd's config in your kernel source directory. Now you can use menuconfig to look at it and change it. Even if you change nothing, this kernel config should build and work.
