I don't want to incite a riot and mabe I am wrong on the cause of your issue, but I have had and heard of many many troubles with stage 3 installations. I think the customability of gentoo is great, but it seems to me that the pre optimized stage2 and 3's cause alot of heartache. Often It seems time might be saved starting from stage1, (genkernel is your friend). Yes portage allows you to rebuild everything at almost any moment but when you can install from an existing install, a knoppix cd, a pxe image or just about any imaginable way I don't see the benifit of optimized stage3 installs. You can easly over optimize a system, and if time to install is a major factor mabe another distro should be used untill more time might be available.
