Sorry, but I am confused!?

What kernel are you using to boot your machine? Looks like you're
trying to boot from the LIVE cd or is this your own kernel?
Furthermore, the kernel you're trying to boot was compiled using
hardened-gcc. Is this intentional?

If you're trying to boot from a live CD try selecting a kernel without
ACPI and SMP (IIRC one of the F* keys should allow you to do so).

i think you are booting live cd. try different commads to boot gentoo. at least one should work.
