Side note - If your system is pcie then you should turn on the MSI kernel options. I have no idea really - tho out of the software you installed before the breakage, Hal would have to be the biggest suspect. Maybe stop it form starting at boot and reboot to see what happens?? (FWIW im running hald) I assume you've added the hal use flag and done an emerge with newuse? What kernel are you running?
