Does it not display any errors? No - no errors, straight to the grub2 command line. This menu entry looks good to me (only difference here is kernel version, UUIDs and root partition). Sounds like it may not be installed correctly... just to confirm here are the few things you should have

[gentoo-user] Linus breaks nvidia again

For you weirdos who track Linus's git repo every day, and who use the proprietary nvidia-drivers, you need to make this change to the nvidia code for their kernel module (nvidia.ko): --- /usr/src/nv/nv-acpi.c.orig 2012-07-29 04:09:03.336096276 -0700 +++ /usr/src/nv/nv-acpi.c 2012-07-29
