A few weeks ago I had a scare when a reboot paniced the kernel with a
complaint that it could not find the root device (/dev/sde), and
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.
