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.
