Hey,

I don't believe I can actually answer this one.  I'm a "noob" to Gentoo!

If you used genkernel to install, you kernel is as you stated above,
but your initrd file isn't what's stated in the Handbook.

The correct initrd file is:
initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6

I had trouble with this on first install too!  :-)

Regards,

Colleen
