If genkernel automounts the /boot partition it gets stuck in a loop trying to unmount it if the unmount is not working. Version -3 didn't unmount /boot if I recall correcty. I noticed because I have the habit to clean out old kernels while I'm compiling the new one so I cd into /boot, making it impossible to unmount the filesystem. Genkernel keeps retrying until you ctrl-c or cd out of the directory. It seems to me it would be better if it would only retry a few times (perhaps with a sleep inbetweeen instead of continuous) and then abort the unmount with a warning / error message. Reproducible: Always
