Did you run grub2-install from within the chroot? I've had problems with
this in the past, no error messages but GRUB is not installed correctly.

Top Oxymorons Number 34: Silent scream
I just installed gentoo on my new SSD (intel 480GB drive SSDSC2BF-480H501)
I mostly was installing everything over ssh (easier) and using grub2 but upon
rebooting I get:
No bootable device - Insert boot disk and press any key
I boot strap to my system:
# swapon /dev/sda3
# mount -t ext4
