Well, I've built my kernel using genkernel too but I don't need any
initrd except for use bootsplash and that's work very well 'cause I'm
using the initrd that "bootsplash" package provides.
When the kernel compile process finish, genkernel tell me to use at
kernel parameter: root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hdXX
So I've tried to use these parameters with lilo but it don't install
with this options so I've tried to use with grub that install weel but
when boot the kernel get panic.
So I'm currently using lilo again and using the same parameters that I
always use:
image = /boot/kernel-2.6.1-splash
root = /dev/hdb6
label = Gentoo-splash
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd-1024x768
append="splash=verbose"
and that work's perfectly :)
