When I upgrade a kernel, I first change the symlink using eselect to
point to the source I'm about to install.  Then, after I configure and
compile the kernel, I use the "module-rebuild rebuild" to rebuild any
kernel modules against the new source.  Move the bzImage to /boot,
reboot, and that's it.  I don't know how genkernel changes any of this
- I use manual menuconfig.
