As far as I understand genkernel, the only real difference is the making of the initrd. Genkernel pulls in some modules defined by it's default configuration. So if your system needs these modules to boot, and your "manual" build of the initrd does not include these modules, your kernel will not boot. Did you ever try to find out, which modules your system needs? If you build these drivers into your kernel and not as modules, everything should work. Another mistake often made are spelling and copy & paste errors. For example you are writing at under point 4 "initrm.2.6.21". Did you mean "initrd.2.6.21"?
