Whether or not you use an initramfs shouldn't make any real difference.
However the genkernel initramfs has to do
actually be larger than a genkernel one
because the latter builds almost everything as modules whereas without an
initramfs, you need some modules as builtins.

Well, if you use genkernel, it should automatically place the initrd

check your genkernel command to compile the kernel.

genkernel is pretty simple to use if you ask me.
just
emerege genkernel
and then use
genkerenl --menuconfig all
it will do everything for you the same as in a regular kernel
compiling.
you have instructions on how to use genkernel on the handbook

While genkernel also can generate kernel configs for you, both dracut

Hi,
According to the genkernel.log, it would be the problem that someone posted
on forum with solution.

Just a word, I have been using genkernel for years and satisfy with it.

I'm still reading the oficial documentation, but I don't think it will be
enough, so, if anyone of you know some documentation more detailed, I'd
appreciate reading it.
I've just ran 'make xconfig', and I noticed that the configuration is the
same from genkernel (genkernel --menuconfig
have to change the name of the initramfs in grub.cfg. Files
generated with dracut don't have *genkernel* in it's filename.
If you can boot with dracut initramfs, you can investigate why the
initramfs of genkernel does not work.
Thanks, Michael, gonna read about dracut and try it out.
Right now
Thank you all, for the help until now.
I didn't solve my problem yet, but I realised some troubles and mistakes
that I've being made.
First I'll divide those problematic situations I've suffered:
1.I was using Genkernel to configure and build the kernel, but Genkernel’s
menuconfig doesn’t work

Most distros still use an older version.
Also, have you considered trying Dracut for initramfs generation? I
don't know how well it works with genkernel as I don't use that (I
manually configure my kernels).
Thanks for the suggesti

That's why I made a tiny script for Genkernel that does the mounting and
unmounting. This also has the advantage of me not having to remember the
Genkernel options ;).
Using genkernel with --install option automounts /boot, if not mounted

Hi,
I used genkernel for compiling kernel in my home server.
Yesterday I wanted to compile a new kernel, but this time by hand, so I
did:
1.-) moved config.gz to .config in new /usr/src/linux link
2.-) make oldconfig
3.-) make
Personally, I find genkernel really nice (and yes I've got a raided
setup)... but even if I didn't I'd still use it. As for those folks that
don't like it, well ... it's optional!
I guess if I were building kernels for Gentoo and (say) Centos systems,
then I might want to use a method
