Howdy, I'm trying a new install (since I hosed my last one) and I figured I'd give the RAID+LVM thing a go. I followed the guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml and everything seemed to have worked ok, but when I boot I get 3 no-fun (TM) lines:
You don't mention anything about addressing the problem of booting a RAID/mirrored_disk machine...
Do you know that the BIOS doesn't know what a raid device is and can't boot off it? There is some trickery involved, but not having done it I don't know how. To start you could set up your root partition on a regular drive and get /usr and your other partitions working on RAID first.
