What do you see?
Reboot and use a camera/cell phone and paste photos on a photo site if more convenient.
guessing:
boot the sysresccd, mount the gentoo partitions, enter the chroot, try this http://aplawrence.com/Linux/lostlinuxpassword.html to reset /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
| Code: | wgetpaste /var/log/dmesg
wgetpaste /var/log/rc.log |
If not enabled, enable rc_logger="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and check rc.log next boot. post url's returned.

When I get to a login prompt, it says:
| Code: |
This is (none) (Linux x86_64 3.10.6-rt-rt3) 13:17:21
(none) login:
|
My hostname isn't being displayed. I see (none) instead.
I am able to login (for which I use root, normal user login is pointless in this case). There is no password trouble involved.
Nothing unexpected shows up in dmesg, messages or lastlog.
The system mounts / as a read-only fs.
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/83634/gentoo-mounting-root-as-read-only-why didn't help. There were a couple of suggestions made by emerging udev for kernel config options, but those didn't help, either.
http://superuser.com/questions/193115/root-file-system-is-mounted-read-only-on-boot-on-gentoo-linux didn't help because root is already in my boot runlevel.
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-946382-start-0.html did not help, although I did try changing noatime to defaults for /.
I noticed a difference between /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab, but grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab did not help.
http://serverfault.com/questions/186671/why-is-my-filesystem-being-mounted-read-only-in-linux finally gave me a useful clue. cat /proc/cmdline shows / being mounted ro. But manually changing grub.cfg to rw did not help.
I'm out of ideas on what to look for. I'm also pressed for time, so since the system in question is an install of my Gentoo Studio, I'm going to backup my files and perform a fresh stage 4 GS install. I wish I had more time to figure out what happened.
