did you make your kernel with 'genkernel' or did you compiled the kernel manually? i had also a kernel panic after my first boot of my new installed gentoo system because i used 'genkernel'. after i manually compiled the kernel, my system boots without problems... if you used 'genkernel', try to compile manually...
