I don't use genkernel, but have you tried dracut? Just add dmraid to MODULES_DRACUT, and try to generate an initramfs with dracut -H. dracut takes care of everything udev related. If it doesn't work, at least is not much effort. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
