Thanks, apparently you can add yet another reason not to use it. I 
recompiled the kernel without using genkernel, used the grub.conf stanza 
below, and now this works fine. 

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r6
root (hd0,1)
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/sda6 udev hda=ide-scsi 
hde=ide-scsi ro

Very frustrating. 

Thanks for helping.
