To my eye this looks to be the part you should go looking for answers
about. Others in the past seem to have had their machines hang with
this sort of message.

I would not go further forward than the 3.3.8 version you are using.
There isn't anything there that would fix this problem.

I suspect the PCIe switch is working correctly as the older GPU is not PCIe.

Is your machine fully Gentoo stable or are you using much ~amd64
stuff? It's OK to use ~amd64 nvidia-drivers, but don't do that for
xorg or other stuff if you don't absolutely need it. You are talking
old hardware here so there's no need to press forward with a lot of
new stuff.

Good luck,
Mark
