5 I suspect you omit certain details, such as running grub-mkconfig or
6 otherwise updating your grub (or other bootloader) configuration prior
7 to the first reboot.

15 Unless I'm missing something about what you are doing, simply emerging a
16 new gentoo-kernel version does nothing except install the sources, it
17 doesn't build the new kernel.  You would still need to run genkernel
18 again for that new version.
