No, no details. But if you search the Gentoo forums, you might be able to find some indications about the problems, e.g. this quote by one of the developers:

"At the moment I am concentrating more on the 2.4.24-kernel since the 2.6-kernel seems to make more problems. I will try to get a 2.6-kernel onto the CD, but at the moment it looks like it will be a rather trivial kernel (SMP, no pcmcia, no wlan)."

This is not to say that Gentoo's 2.6 can't be used; it just seems that the developers were not confident enough to throw it at the vast range of hardware configurations available on the market.
