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.
