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?
