I think I read somewhere that JFS needs to be booted rw instead of ro.
Try to change your kernel= line to this:
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0
init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda2 rw
*NOTE* the above should be ONE line.
P.S. Why

I am not a genkernel user but couldn't you boot the machine like this,
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda2
This will test if it's a kernel problem or a boot splash

Did you try to boot from the livecd, or another boot cd, and see if
you can even mount your JFS partition?
Jim
Yes I have. It mounts fine when using the livecd to boot from. I can
read/write to it no problem, and all the file structure is there.

How long did it take you to build a kernel? It seemed pretty fast

An easy fix for your kde probs is to use Gome : )

Damn quick I must say - about 15 mins. This laptop is a PentiumM 1.8.
Gentoo boots damn fast too.
My KDE probs seems to be improving,
