Try
genkernel --menuconfig --install [--bootsplash] all
after the "make mrproper" you'll be presented at tne menu configuration tool for configuring your kernel, where you can select your processor, hardware drivers, kernel behavior, security models, etc., etc., etc.,
If you don't feel confortable messing with this settings (or even if you do), don't forget to rename your existing working kernel and include it to your bootloader in case the new one fails to boot or to load some important module.
I don't believe that genkernel will be able to supply that level of fine tuning for a (long) while.
Hope this helps Francisco

Hi All,
I'm a new Gentoo user, and I find Gentoo marvelous distro. Thou some question emerge mostly on genkernel behavior. Surprisingly I found that genkernel does not modify "Processor type" and leaves it to 486 which is bad on AMD-K7 system. Other disturbing thing is persistive usage of /devfs which is marked OBSOLETE in 2.6 kenels. Using --udev does not help at all thou udevd is loaded but if I put a RC_DEVICES="udev" in /etc/conf.d/rc on boot system states that i miss something for udev support... (I've emerged coldplug and hotplug)
Hope this cold help in making Gentoo even easier to use
