How did you install the kernel sources? |

If you downloaded them as a normal user you should be able to make |
| 17 |
menuconfig; make; sudo make install just fine. |

If portage installed the sources, then you should |
| 20 |
configure/compile/install as root. The sources are owned by portage |
| 21 |
(IIRC) and you can't su to that user, leaving only root. Or, try adding |
| 22 |
yourself to the portage group. Personally I think that's too much |
| 23 |
effort for zero gain so I always do it as root. |
