I=E2=80=99m less sure how this applies to modules, since I=E2=80=99m not sur=
e why you=E2=80=99d want to manually compile them, but: it is possible to tw=
eak kernel configuration using the gentoo-kernel distribution kernel.

I=E2=80=99ve used =C2=AB config snippets =C2=BB [Wiki: Distribution Kernel, M=
odifying kernel configuration] with consistent success.

Other than that, I wanted to second Michale=E2=80=99s comments. One of the p=
erks of installkernel and the like is that they automatically mamage bootloa=
der and initrd updates, AFAICT. So that might have gotten missed for the man=
