I used genkernel when I was first installing Gentoo.  I let that thing
build half a dozen kernels, chroot in between too.  You know what, not
one of them worked.  That was a long time ago but let me check something
here.  < spit spit spit >  I had to get the bad taste out of my mouth.  lol

I might also add, I started using a init thingy a few weeks ago, dracut
tool.  For some crazy reason, when I boot with the init thingy, my
system doesn't work right.  When I boot without the init thingy, it
works fine.  Still trying to figure out that one.  It's in another thread.

I don't see myself using genkernel any time soon.  Right now, I'm having
flashbacks to hal with regard to dracut and the whole init thingy /usr
mess.
