emerge the kernel you want, remake the symlink in /usr/src, rerun genkernel --config
If the kernel is not too different to what you are currently using, copy the /etc/kernel/config-n to the new version number and genkernel will startup with most of the correct options set. The error you are seeing is to do with loop - did you add the kernel option, and if modular (reccomended), did you insert the module?
