I would suggest to follow the Gentoo handbook first. |

Leave all options you are not sure as default, using lspci to find out |
| 3 |
more about your hardware specifications. |
| 4 |
From my experiences I will make sure that the kernel is bootable first |
| 5 |
then adapt it to hardware later. Use modules or not is your choice, both |
| 6 |
ways work fine. |

If you want to make sure that thing is stable, you can back up your old |
| 9 |
config later then have a bunch of test kernels to test. The help from |
| 10 |
kernel config interface does help you to get a general idea about what |
| 11 |
is the purpose of the option. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Not everyone can get the kernel work for the first try, do not panic. |
| 14 |
Once you get through the first time, thing will go more smoothly than |
| 15 |
you thought. It happened to me one year before but now it take me about |
| 16 |
less than 10 minutes to have the new kernel configured in my computer. |

Good luck, |
