A few weeks ago I had a scare when a reboot paniced the kernel with a

further reboots couldn't even see the USB keyboard. Leavng the
system powered off overnight "fixed" the problem and the system has
been working fine ever since.
Do a memtest first. emerge sys-apps/memtest86+ and then add an entry
for it in Grub:
title=Memtest86+
root (hd0,0) # <- adapt this to your partition
kernel /boot/memtest86plus/memtest.bin
Then boot that entry and see if you get any errors in the first 5
minutes or so.
Starting the emerge etc. But why would this be a memory problem when
it is so clearly 3.6 vs 3.7?
It's simply an easy check to do and can rule RAM failure out early on.
When RAM dies, various seemingly unrelated issues can pop up.
But since your RAM seems clean, it's not the issue.
