      I have compiled with genkernel the gentoo-sources-3.13.1 but the system don't boot.

      There is a problem in the generated "initramfs" that include a busybox that go in Segmentation fault when mount the filesystem.

      Running "busybox mount" on the uncompressed initramfs:

       # ./busybox mount 
Segmentation fault

      The workaround to reboot the system is:

      1) uncompress initramfs
      2) compile a static busybox in local.
      3) Substitute the busybox included in the initramfs with the local busybox
      4) remove "-n" in the modbrobe invocation in "etc/initrd.scripts"

      diff -u /usr/share/genkernel/defaults/initrd.scripts initrd.scripts

      5) rigenerate the fixed initramfs and install this in "/boot/"
