to quote the gentoo kernel upgrade guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml#doc_chap10

"It is sometimes possible to save time by re-using the configuration
file from your old kernel when configuring the new one. Note that this
is generally unsafe -- too many changes between every kernel release
for this to be a reliable upgrade path.
The only situation where this is appropriate is when upgrading from
one Gentoo kernel revision to another. For example, the changes made
between gentoo-sources-2.6.9-r1 and gentoo-sources-2.6.9-r2 will be
very small, so it is usually OK to use the following method."

So, this may not be the problem, but copying .config files, even
between minor kernel releases is not recommended and may cause
unintended side effects.
