Thanks for the hint but for now I have to wait. When I think about I have to add several kernel-options to menu.lst: dracut has to assemble /dev/md3 at first (this is the single PV in the VG VG01) and /dev/VG01/genroot then is the filesystem with the new gentoo-rootfs I only added stuff like rd.md=1 etc ... I think I got the assembling wrong. And maybe even the root= option. We will see tmrw if I get in early from other jobs. Stefan
