Could be. When I setup my RAID here, I specifically arranged for root
and a backup root snapshot to be directly on RAID partitions, because the
kernel can handle them directly with only a bit of stuff on the command
line (so in grub), no root on LVM as that would require an initramfs, and
I preferred to keep things simple, because simple isn't so likely to
break and is easier to fix if it does.
I've done lvm on a root partition before with the old baselayout.
Just followed the directions here:

It did need an initramfs, but genkernel makes that step pretty easy.
Haven't really played with 2 yet, but from what I see it looks pretty
spiffy.
