That kernel version is marked ~amd64 (unstable/testing). Are you accepting the ~amd64 keyword in your make.conf? If you ask for help in this group you should include that info as part of your question. You'll get better answers if you do. Just as important in the last year or so is whether you are using systemd or openrc at boot time. Life never gets simpler over time :(
