{SOLVED}
After bringing in GENTOO-SOURCES-2.27-R3 I was unable to make install_modules because of problem with MII R8169.
By adding the following to: | Code: | | /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Makefile |
That is, adding the mii.o to the line containing r8169.o I was able to make modules_install without an error and I have network again.
From... | Code: | ...
obj-$(CONFIG_R8169) += r8169.o
... |
to... | Code: | ...
obj-$(CONFIG_R8169) += mii.o r8169.o
... |
Am not au fait with posting bugs, but if someone needs more information from my x86_64 (amd64) system to post a bug so this is fixed in the next kernel release, let me know. I see no reference to this problem in bugs.
Thank you to Kasper Sandberg at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/171 for this solution.

I hit the very same issue last night, and found this bug report, in which they outline that fix and link to patches which implement it.
However, gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r4 is already in portage, so we should probably just upgrade to that instead.

It was five minutes after I figured out the solution that I saw there was a new kernel :: lol
