That's a pretty old kernel. Any chance that you can try with a more recent
one, such as 2.6.30? Or maybe just a more recent Gentoo CD or live CD from
another distribution?

Also, did you see these following messages?

It looks as if that Gentoo CD is still using the deprecated pcmcia-cs utilities
instead of the new pcmciautils.

Hope that helps,
