I have always just burned the latest install dvd,
to take shopping and boot up potential computers
and have a spin, right in the store.
The last HP laptop I tried DV7-6178US did not boot
( I even when into the bios to try to get it to boot)
off the dvd (11.2); so that was a new experience for
me.
What instructions are you using to install off of the
11.2 DVD? You can just boot the 11.2 dvd and run gentoo
from the dvd, if you like.
The handbook steps are somewhat different that installing
off of the 11.2 dvd. I ran across some instructions on
installing directly off the 11.2 dvd a while ago, but I
did not try it:
