What could help you here is a make xconfig. It's similar to make
menuconfig but has a nice QT user interface. I would recommend to
browse through it once and look at the help

everything you need in-kernel instead of as a module.
I'd say the disable everything you don't need part is what Harry's

I would suggest to follow the Gentoo handbook first.
Leave all options you are not sure as default, using lspci to find out
more about your hardware specifications.
From my experiences I will make sure that the kernel is bootable first
then adapt it to hardware later. Use modules or not is your

back in the day, this was why i went gentoo in the first place. i
needed a better scheduler and compiling a new kernel off red hat for

gentoo made my life easier.

You may also want to try lspci -v. It shows you what modules the
hardware uses and it should be able to boot with those at least. Example:
00:02.2 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev
a3) (prog-if 20 [EHCI])
Subsystem: ABIT Computer Corp. Device 1c02
