I tried genkernel. All I got was a kernel that wouldn't boot. Heck, it
barely even started to boot. The kernel wouldn't even finish loading.
After several tries, I put genkernel in the trash. It worked a LOT
better there for me. It was out of sight and mind. ;-)

You hit it, for some reason I put /usr on the root partition without
thinking. This is where I am now:
rootfs 19534436 10693048 8841388 55% /
Over half full. When I have a critical partition get over 60%, I start
looking for expansion. Moving /usr was my plan but someone stole that
from me I guess. Now I got to figure out what I want to do next.
