   genkernel has a big history of not working and I haven't used it more than   
   once or twice before I decided to make all manually instead.   
   I don't use initramfs, instead I compile all the driver into the kernel   
   which I need during boot up (usually not much more than drivers for disk,   
   nic only if I need to use tftp/nfs for root file system).   
      
   For boot loader there are options other than grub/grub2, which has been   
   working fine for a lot of people, for example lilo.
