Created attachment 873414 [details] logs for genkernel 4.3.6 and 4.3.7 after generating initramfs with genkernel-4.3.7, my system failed to boot because zfs.ko was no longer included in it (even though it exists in /lib/modules/$ver/extra/) Pretty sure it's this commit that not only modifies firmware inclusion but also the way modules are copied (but I just glanced through it): https://github.com/gentoo/genkernel/commit/08b4f191c9fb064f8564d888e3969a02b0384a32 I'm attaching genkernel logs from both genkernel 4.3.6 and 4.3.7, the difference is clearly visible.
genkernel doesn't really have an active maintainer, so you will likely need to submit a fix or revert for this yourself.
Sure, I can try to contribute something. Should I look at how to contribute properly or would attaching a patch here be enough? To be honest I don't like that the patch I referenced does so many changes not related to firmware, so was hoping the author would roll it back and provide a fixed version based on my report :-) Thanks!
If you want to submit a fix, either a pull request on Github (https://github.com/gentoo/genkernel) or a patch generated using "git format-patch" will suffice.
Created attachment 873419 [details, diff] gen_moddeps.sh: ALLRAMDISKMODULES fix Looks like /lib/modules/${KV_FULL}/modules.order doesn't contain extra modules. linux-mod-r1.eclass uses depmod (sys-apps/kmod). And it doesn.t generate the new modules.order. Try to apply attached patch. BTW: why do you use ALLRAMDISKMODULES="yes"?

Please try 4.3.8 and reopen if it doesn't do the job.
