Are there any other messages before/after the kernel panic message? You could try and run the live cd by entering gentoo-nofb or gentoo-nofb nox and then check if you get a prompt.

slab is a technique for memory allocation ([url=.http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-slab-allocator/]source[/url]). I'm not sure about the specifics of your case, but a negative memory size looks like an overflow. You cannot have negative ammounts of memory in real world.

| Identify the defective memory module. Which means test them with memtest86+, separately. |

It could still be a defective memory module which leads to an error especially when running in dual-channel mode (which is rather common nowadays and more prone to errors). You could check that if you slot the modules to run in single-channel mode which is likely to work, but still, if something suddenly stops working chances for a defective module are high. I had that same joy with DDR-SDRAM two times in 2007.
Test them both with memtest86+ separately. |

yeah, some stuck bit or other memory issue would explain your problem.

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Kernel & Hardware.
Not about getting gentoo installed, so moved here.
