I've read all those, it really shouldn't be a config problem though since it works with gentoo-sources but not vanilla. I am doing make oldconfig, so other than a few new options it should work but it doesn't. Could it be just that vanilla sources don't have some patch that gentoo does, although the vanilla kernel is newer, so I'm not sure if that would really make sense?
