genkernel not creating initramfs image file
Hello,

I'm upgrading to the new profile, so I need to get initramfs working, but
genkernel does not create the image needed.

the output is:

* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 4.3.10
* Using genkernel configuration from '/etc/genkernel.conf' ...
* Running with options: --kernel-config=/usr/src/linux/.config --install initramfs

* Do NOT report kernel bugs as genkernel bugs unless your bug
* is about the default genkernel configuration...
*
* Make sure you have the latest ~arch genkernel before reporting bugs.

genkernel does not fail it's execution, but no file on the directory.

I compile my kernels "by hand" (no external tools besides gcc and make), maybe
genkernel expects me to use it from start to finish for the compilation
process? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Dalmon Ian.
