Completely on the same page with Timothy. Without the logs nothing could be achieved. Please, could you post the logs?

I will give you couple of hints. You should have in GRUB both gentoo and Fedora kernels (I am using Fedora for years, and completely switched two months ago to Fedora 25 (today, it comes out as Final Release). Even I am experimenting with rawhide (soon to be Fedora 26, with kernels 4.9.0 rc5 x86_64).

Here: when your gentoo kernel crashes, while rebooting, please, switch to Fedora kernel, bring it up, and do the following:
journalctl -b -1 (latest log to shutdown).

I would like also to peak in them/latest gentoo logs (with Ooooops). ;-)

Thank you,
Zoran

The stack trace would help.  This is probably a kernel issue; Gentoo may
have enabled a little-used feature and it may not work correctly under
coreboot.  Need the trace to debug further.

The KGPE-D16 is a server board; as such, it is appropriate to set fans
to full speed until the OS-based thermal management controls can take
over.  Without this feature, a system that overheated (e.g. if fans were
set to a low RPM incorrectly) may either get stuck in a reboot loop or
power down entirely in a remote location.  Needless to say, requiring
physical intervention over this type of fault is undesirable in a server
system.
