Well. I got an error whilst running "genkernel all"...

Gentoo Linux Genkernal; Version 3.4.10^[[0m
Running with options all

Linux Kernel ..^[[0m for x86^[[0m...
kernel: >> Running mrproper...
COMMAND: make -j2 CC="gcc" LD="ld" AS="as" ARCH="x86"
make: *** No rule to make target 'mrproper'. Stop.
Gentoo Linux Genkernal; Version 3.4.10^[[0m
Running with options all

ERROR: Failed to compile the "mrproper" target...
-- Grepping log... --
-- End log.. --

I could not find anything on the web regarding mrproper... so what is this mrproper?

Now is it advisable to try to manually configuring the kernel or did I miss something?

LMK and THX

EDIT: I went back to the Handbook to manually proceed, I emerged pciutils ok then I ran lspci, all good there but when I tried to "make menuconfig" I get the "make: *** No rule to make target 'X'. Stop.
(fill in X with command.) I get this whenever I try to make anything.

EDIT2: I am running "emerge genkernel gentoo-sources" right now, don't know if this will help or hurt but I am a noob after all. lol

EDIT3:
now at the top of my genkernal output I have...
