Indeed, it does sound like you've done something wrong while compiling
your kernel. Unfortunately, without further information we can't do much
to try to diagnose the problem. However, here's how you can recompile
the kernel:
1. Boot up from your install CD.
2. Mount your /boot and / using the same mount command you did earlier
when you were installing. Do NOT rebuild the file system using mke2fs or
similar - this will delete everything you've built so far!
3. chroot back into the installation.
4. Go back to /usr/src/linux-whatever, make mrclean, make menuconfig,
etc. Start with the default build settings, then add devfs and
anything that sounds like it would be immensely important for your
setup. Also make sure to include RTC support, as a module.
(Otherwise, Gentoo will complain.)
5. Rerun grub.
