genkernel log with error

sys-apps/v86d was removed some time ago and I unmerged it. Now I wanted to build new kernel with initrd but I can't because of this error: ./scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open '/usr/share/v86d/initramfs'

So it looks like sys-apps/v86d is needed for initrd.

There are also some Gentoo wiki tutorials where there is sys-apps/v86d as needed dependency. For example this one: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Uvesafb

You should edit your kernel config and remove /usr/share/v86d/initramfs from CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE.
