hashir,i think the reason why you are not getting the login is the one u
mentioned, the corrupted installation of gnome.it may destroyed your
/bin/login.so login to your system using ssh and try
emerge shadow,ignore the errors and go on until it emerges,then i think u can
login from your system itself.Before that you can check your system log in nano
-w /var/log/messages.Hope this will help u

Thank you sir. But gnome was not installed. There were
some error and the installation aborted halfway. I was
trying to install xorg first.i had given the foll
command:
emerge -DuN x11-base/xorg-x11
Installation was not complete but was aborted someway
in between .
I replaced the /etc folder from an another working
machine. Still the problem persist.
Is there anything else i should be doing?
