Paul is right, but you shouldn't need to modify anything. Here's what
grub2-mkconfig generates on my machine (first entry only):
menuentry 'Gentoo GNU/Linux' --class gentoo --class gnu-linux --class
gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option
'gnulinux-simple-713f1c17-1b9a-4967-ac05-d6a6a9ff60a5' {
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,gpt2'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt2
--hint-efi=hd0,gpt2 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt2
e39917c2-b59e-4447-bcae-39a41c3816a7
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root
e39917c2-b59e-4447-bcae-39a41c3816a7
fi
echo 'Loading Linux x86_64-3.3.5-gentoo ...'
linux /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.5-gentoo
root=UUID=713f1c17-1b9a-4967-ac05-d6a6a9ff60a5 ro
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.5-gentoo
}
And here are the file in /boot
# find /boot/ -name "*genkernel*"
/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.5-gentoo
/boot/System.map-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.5-gentoo
/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.5-gentoo
/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.5-gentoo.old
/boot/System.map-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.5-gentoo.old
/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.5-gentoo.old
It boots perfectly fine using my initramfs
