* >> No splash detected; skipping!
* >> Appending modprobed cpio data...
* >> Compressing cpio data (.xz)...

Not properly solved, but worked around by editing the config of genkernel
I added to /etc/genkernel.conf:
| Code: | | COMPRESS_INITRD="no" |

I had the problem that my xz(the compression program) froze up on my 512mb pentium box. I first tried your method but got an error, I fixed it by switching the compression from "best" to "fastest". It can be selected right below the compression or no compression options.
Cheers.
