Well, before running make oldconfig, you should copy the .config file from the
kernel you used just before this one (2.6.16-gentoo-r12 possibly?)
to /usr/src/linux. make oldconfig will then create a new .config based on
your previous settings for the new kernel. I don't know what make prepare
does... someone else want to pick that one up?

Randy,
I ran the commands, rebuilt the kernel, rebooted, etc., then
attempted to emerge nvidia-legacy-drivers again. I got the same
message.
None the less I found the problem. Somehow in the gcc-4.1.1, emerge
-e world gdm was removed from the system. Don't ask me why. I
re-emerged gdm and everything is working now.
Thanks,
Mark
