>Description:
I updated all my sources, built and installed the world, then compiled a new kernel using the same config file I had used to compile my previous kernel 3 months ago but this one makes the system hang when I try to boot it.
I can provide my kernel config file or anything else that might help squash the bug if requested.

 In what way does the kernel not boot? Does it display any messages?
 Does it crash in some way or does it hang?

 Do you able to load kernel.GENERIC by pressing TAB while "thingy" just
 appeared?
 If not, there may be not OS problem, possibly something wrong about your
 hardware?

 The problem has been resolved.
 It appears that the kernel was, in fact, booting but it seemed as though 
 it was not because I had commented the console drivers out from the 
 config file.
 My bad.

it loads into memory, displaying 3 numbers that look like memory addreses.
Then, that spinning line thingy appears but it doesn't spin and nothing
happens after that.
