I would try these steps: 1. Download an upstream (not gentoo) 4.9.76 kernel source and unpack it.
2. Take the existing .config (from the failed genkernel attempt) and copy it into the newly unpacked tree. 3. make silentoldconfig 4. make menuconfig just for verification; no changes should be necessary 5. build the kernel the normal upstream way (make vmlinuz or whatever) If this works, it is a genkernel problem. Myself, I stopped using gerkernel about 2 months into my gentoo life. It doesn't really bring anything to the table worth the extra complexity. Even if I were an initramfs user, I'd prefer dracut for that part. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
