Only other thing I ran into (admittedly in 2004 or 2005 or so) is if
genkernel is doing any initrd-magick for you you'll need to either
understand it and do it yourself, or config your kernel so all that
stuff is built-in.  It was a little embarrassing when none of my JFS
partitions got found on that first reboot.  Keep a boot CD or DVD in
case of real disaster, and configure your current boot kernel as an
alternative choice in GRUB until you get the hand-rolled version
stabilized.
