I'm not sure where that error comes from, but it sounds like you do need to 
heed it.
If you *want* a kernel without modules, then enable module loading and make 
sure all the drivers you need are compiled in.
If you *need* to not have module loading, then I'd imagine you have no choice 
but to compile it manually.

p.s. Do you *need* an initrd/initramfs? With no modules I doubt you do, so try 
genkernel with kernel instead of all.
