Bug#319755: Same problem here
I have the same symptoms here, on a Thinkpad T43p with
Kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686. The genrtc module is definitely loaded by the
initrd, as it is already present when booting with init=/bin/sh.
My mkinitrd config is attached.
I think at this point it would be prefereable to use rtc instead of
genrtc, as a lot of multimedia software uses /dev/rtc which genrtc
doesn't provide.

# If this is set to probe mkinitrd will try to figure out what's needed to
# mount the root file system. This is equivalent to the old PROBE=on setting.
