If you don't use lvm for / /usr and similar you don't need an initrd at all.Holly Bostick wrote:
I've never used genkernel, and I had lvm2 and udev working perfectly well together-- do you have the root partition on LVM or something (I didn't)?
no.
Even so, that's related to initrd generation, which is not the exclusive province of genkernel.
I'm confused.
so am I but for an entirely different reason ;-)
so far, all the documentation I have seen speaks of creating either incredibly complicated large initrd images with mounting them up and copying in many file systems and all that crap. The other threads says just use genkernel and all will be much happy goodness.
Since I'm trying to build xen on the system and have really no idea what my partition sizes are going to be, I really need lvm2. at times like these, I remind myself that most problems with computers are self-inflicted..
so I would welcome some suggestions on what's the best way to get udev and lvm working.

Built it in the kernel or as a module and let the gentoo init scripts manage it.
