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... 
 
(you can read my posting with the subject: "[gentoo-user] kernel panic after 
first boot!")
