If that's okay, I'll refer you to the bug report. Perhaps you do have an idea:

Maybe one of these is missing from your kernel config:
Code:
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_EFI=y
CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y
CONFIG_FB_EFI=y

Same .config I had for 3.6.2 works fine after copying for 3.6.4 (~amd64, and 3.6.2 config was copied from 3.6.1):
Code:
cp ../linux-3.6.2-gentoo/.config .
make oldconfig
make && make modules_install

Booted via efi stub currently but setup for both (grub or efi):
Code:
mount /boot/
mount /boot/efi/
cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-3.6.4-gentoo
cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/efi/EFI/gentoo/gs364x64.efi

And to set EFI stub up (for my system layout):
Code:
modprobe efivars
efibootmgr --create --part 2 --label "Gentoo-3.6.4" --loader '\EFI\gentoo\gs364x64.efi'

Config diff:
Code:
# diff /usr/src/linux-3.6.2-gentoo/.config /usr/src/linux-3.6.4-gentoo/.config
3c3
< # Linux/x86_64 3.6.2-gentoo Kernel Configuration
---
> # Linux/x86_64 3.6.4-gentoo Kernel Configuration

I've got the same problem on my EFI machine and 3.6.3. It's currently stuck running on an old 3.5.4 kernel...

Shot in the dark: You're not using gcc-4.7 right? My kernel didn't boot after compiling it with 4.7, after downgrading and re-compiling with the same config it worked just fine.

Not here, mine's just a regular ~amd64 toolchain.
