try appending the dmesg output and a hdparm -v /dev/hda and hdparm -i /dev/hda output. here's one of the main problems... use amd64 and the unmask the keywords of the unstable packages you'll need to use. it should fix you up. another thing may be due to initng. try emerging sysvinit and use the default linux init, as does kubuntu/ubuntu. before doing updates to the system, append the dmesg and the hdparm outputs and we may be able to do something about it. i don't see something in particular from the configs. at least for now. but you should really fix the amd64 thing. using the system from unstable branch is not good. was using it too, but switched to the stable one about 1 day after installing the unstable one.
