Problem solved!
1.  I started with my first gentoo config file (networking worked) and
just modified smp, amp, and acpi.
2.  Rebuilt and discovered that make did not know that when I typed make
modules-install that I actually meant make modules_install.
3.  Couldn't figure out how emerge pcmcia-cs could know which
/lib/modules/gentoo_whatever to put it's  modules in. Decided that maybe
it could pick it up from a running kernel, and ran emerge pcmcia-cs
after booting my new kernel. Still don't know if that's true or not but
my system works now.
