This appears to be a corrupt file somewhere.  This is the current uptime:

root@fireball / # uptime
  08:22:57 up 16:02,  4 users,  load average: 0.12, 0.11, 0.13
root@fireball / #

It was rebooting after a couple hours or so before.  All I have done so 
far is basically the same as a emerge -e world.  I used the script thing 
tho.  I did the first few hundred packages from a USB stick.  Anyway, it 
appears to be working fine.  I'm hoping it stays that way too.  I don't 
want to be chasing down flakey hardware.  I like having hair.

That said, I'm going to reboot, by choice, just to make sure everything 
loaded is new.  If it lasts until tomorrow, maybe this is fixed.  I hope.

Thanks to all for the help.  Will post results tomorrow.
