Dear all,

I'm trying to use LVM + ReiserFS under gentoo 1.4_rc2.
The installation ends fine. I had create a volume group named diskvg and
a lot of logical volumes (rootlv, usrlv, varlv, homelv).

In the kernel (gentoo-2.4.19-r10) I set built-in the following options:
- LVM support
- ramdisk support with initrc
- DEVfs 
- mount dev filesystem at boot
- loopback support


I had create initrd file:
lvmcreate_initrd 2.4.19-gentoo-r10

and in   /boot/grub/menu.lst  I have:
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/diskvg/rootlv
initrd=/boot/initrd-lvm-2.4.19-gentoo-r10.gz


During the boot the kernel hangs with:

Mounted devfs on /dev
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes
vgscan -- found inactive volume group "diskvg"
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" succesfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: this program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume
group

vgchange -- volume group "diskvg" succesfully activated

VFS: Cannot open root device "diskvg/rootlv" or 00:0d
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:0d


If I start using gentoo CD and perform all commands by hand I'm able to
activate LVM and mount the partitions.

Where I wrong?
Thanks
Enrico
