Please run the following commands to update your gentoo image once you've sucessfully booted it:

emerge sync
emerge -uDav world (update, Depend, ask, verbose)
emerge -av depclean (remove old dependencies)
revdep-rebuild -av (requires gentoolkit)
disptach-conf (or you can use etc-update, but dispatch-conf is nicer)

This will update and rebuild world based on your USE flags. Rebuilding world in this way will ensure that your gentoo system has all the USE flags sync'd with the rest of the system to run at its optimum speed.

Cheers
