Just had to clean the ram disk stuff, and the initrd line, and everything went well!!
For a future recompilitation, when I do "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig", the configuration showed is the current one or a default one? Logically, I would say that it is the current one (so that I just need to focus in what I need to add/remove/change) than always have to look each detail. If somebody could confirm me that.. it's better to know!
Thanks!

Ok you say you compiled the kernel manually, all you need to do is
include support for the VFS file system in your kernel preferably
built in rather than a module. That should do the job. As for the
options for your kernel you dont need all the ram disk stuff that
genkernel uses.
Yours can simply be:
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11 R10
root (hd0,*)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r10 root=/dev/hda*
And that should do the trick, if you have enabled the vesa frame
buffers than there are a couple other parameters that you need to
enable but not to worry bout that just yet.
