buyinsurance's post in UEFI hangs was marked as the answer
Thanks for your reply. nomodeset didn't work for me. Your advice was helpful and I made sure my settings were right, so thank you for that :).
Unfortunately, it still didn't work. So I decided to try something different.
I ended up finding a fix! I'm now able to boot in correctly. I believe this is a fix for someone that's exhausted all possible kernel trials. I'm assuming this is a funtoo grub packaging problem or something was wrong with my grub.cfg. It's just weird because grub was loading fine, that is why I assumed kernel error.
Here is what I did to fix it:
emerge --unmerge grub
Added a local overlay, something like /usr/local/portage is good. Added gentoo's version of grub to the overlay. It was also a newer version than funtoo's.
emerge -va grub
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot /dev/sda
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Restarted and was able to get into my system.
If anyone has any idea why the funtoo grub didn't work for me, let me know.
