Odd, it can work on all those yet fail on a relatively simple system.
Makes one wonder. Maybe it is to complicated? Sort of starting to
sound like udev isn't it? lol
I didn't say it would fail for the OP. I just said it never worked for
me. Compiling my own has worked for me. I have only had one failure
with that. I might also add, I have read where others have nightmares
about genkernel. I'm not the only one.
