I'm having a problem with LVM after rebooting my stage3 install of Gentoo. Here's the filesystem layout:

/dev/md0 - RAID1 - /dev/hda1 & /dev/hdb1 - /boot
/dev/md1 - RAID0 - /dev/hda2 & /dev/hdb2 - / & swap
VG - vgroot
LV - /dev/vgroot/swap & /dev/vgroot/root

RAID & LVM are compiled into the Kernel (no modules). I also emerged (after chroot-ing to /mnt/gentoo) lvm-user, the LVM user-space tools, and created an initrd files for booting / from LVM.

The problem occurs when the Kernel runs vgscan during boot. Here's the error:

“vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
cdrom: open failed.
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group


vgchange -- no volume groups found

VFS: Cannot open root device "vgroot/root" or 00:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00"

I've confirmed that the RAID devices are properly loading from the output during boot.

Ideas?
