How do you know that the /usr you're looking at is a =partition=? The
partition that is =supposed= to be mounted there might be just fine, only
unmounted.

Before I did that, I would have typed
# mount
and found out what filesystems were actually mounted. You might find that
they were either unmounted, or maybe mounted in the wrong place (like that
/mnt/gentoo/usr yoiu mentioned, which sounds conspicuously like where the
partition is mounted during the install process, as the installer has its
own /usr)
