This may be related to bug #522176

The xhci_pci module is required for USBv3-only computers to boot the Gentoo minimal ISO from a USB drive. Currently it is not being automatically pulled into the initramfs by genkernel and thus isn't available to find the root filesystem during the boot process.

This is actually not a dupe, since the other bug was about the kernel config that has now been updated.
I'm going to push this change to the genkernel repo.
