 10.x).  From there I was able to chroot and install Gentoo.  Upon
 reboot I was not able to boot the kernel yet again.  I have chrooted
 back in several times and still have failed to find the proper kernel
 version or configuration that will boot my system. Any support or help
 would be greatly appreciated.

The just use the Ubuntu kernel: Boot Ubuntu again, and get its kernel 
.config from /proc/config.gz like this:

cd /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux
zcat /proc/config.gz  .config
make oldconfig

Modify as you like and build the kernel again.

I am thinking that some like cat boot/config-`uname -r` 
ubuntu_config.txt will save the Ubuntu kernel configuration.  Then you
can use its settings to configure your Gentoo kernel.

HTH.

You should post the lspci from ubuntu, so we can give some suggestions.
We're flying blind right now.
