Try:
genkernel --gensplash=emergence --gensplash-res=1024x768 initrd

genkernel puts all those nifty little things in your initrd. You could add 
"--menuconfig" if you want to check your kernel options.

Look up the exact name of the generated initrd in /boot and adjust your grub 
entry accordingly.
