It's probably a dodgy kernel point bersion, 4.14 is problematic.
Alice Ferrazzi posted this to gentoo-dev earlier today:
=====start quote=====
Hello,
We have recently started the stabilization of gentoo-sources-4.14.8.
Very soon we received reports regarding broken e1000e driver [1] and moved
to gentoo-sources-4.14.8-r1.
Since then we keep receiving new problems related to 4.14.x kernel:
- IPSec is broken [2]
- Change in 4.14.9 broke nVIDIA driver [3]
- Colors on console are broken with some Radeon HD cards [4]
- BUG report on boot [5]
- Unbootable system with CONFIG_MCORE2 [6]
- ...more bugs [7]
While not all issues are present in gentoo-sources-4.14.8-r1 we are
concerned about the current stability/quality of the 4.14.x branch in
general and don't feel comfortable recommending 4.14.x branch for general
use at the moment. But that's what a stable USE flag means for most
Gentoo users.
So, for now, we have decided to drop gentoo-sources-4.14.x stable keywords.
We will keep watching 4.14 branch and once the stability/quality matches
our requirements we will restart stabilization.
Keep in mind: We are only dropping stable USE flags. If
gentoo-sources-4.14.x works for you and you want to keep it, just keyword
the package on your own!
===== end quote=====
If you want to fix the bugs, then by all means soldier on. But if your
intent is to have a working system that boots, probably drop using
4.14.x and go back to say 4.12.x ?
