I've found that I need to run "make oldconfig" or, my preference, "make silentoldconfig" by hand before I ever use genkernel. I copy my old .config to the new kernel directory, run silentoldconfig, then I run genkernel. Is that the problem you're facing or do you see changes between invocations of genkernel?
