The same thing happens on my laptop as well (Thinkpad Z61m, core2Duo). The Gentoo boot disks just don't have the drivers. I had to boot a Knoppix disk, install that, then do gentoo as a chroot... Which was a REAL nightmare because the knoppix was 32bit & I wanted a 64-bit install (It took messing around with a kernel from a ~amd64 desktop manually copied over as well before I could get gentoo installed correctly). I'd hate to have to try & rebuild... H
