I would like to know too.
I don't know specifically what "genkernel --menuconfig all" does but I
ended up redoing it, correcting some configuration.
In addition when I was redoing the "genkernel --menuconfig all" it
copied current (working) kernel in /boot/ to kernel-old and installs a
new one.
The new one boots OK. The old kernel should work as well, but it doesn't.
So I would like to get to the bottom of it.
What is being installed in initramfs?
