What processor are you configuring the kernel as? I just asked this question the other day, and didn't get any meaningful answer. I then posted on the Gentoo Forums, and found out there is a typo in the kernel config if you are using Athlon XP. If you are using Athlon XP, then there is a patch at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37711. I personally haven't tried the patch, because I decided to go ahead and upgrade to 2.6.1-rc1 before I found out about it.
i use a pentium III mobile
did yours get stuck in make oldconfig as well?
