I had some difficulties because the way I was doing things before with my homebrew solution was... non-standard. The problem areas that I remember from the transition were: setting the USE flags correctly to build the modules I needed, initially confusing dracutmodules and add_dracutmodules in dracut.conf (actually you probably don't even need to edit that file at all), making sure to have a sane /etc/fstab line for the root file system and passing the right root= kernel command line. root=UUID=... works the best in my experience.
