I've never used genkernel, and I had lvm2 and udev working perfectly well together-- do you have the root partition on LVM or something (I didn't)?
no.
Even so, that's related to initrd generation, which is not the exclusive province of genkernel.
I'm confused.
so am I but for an entirely different reason ;-)
so far, all the documentation I have seen speaks of creating either incredibly complicated large initrd images with mounting them up and copying in many file systems and all that crap. The other threads says just use genkernel and all will be much happy goodness.
Since I'm trying to build xen on the system and have really no idea what my partition sizes are going to be, I really need lvm2. at times like these, I remind myself that most problems with computers are self-inflicted..
so I would welcome some suggestions on what's the best way to get udev and lvm working.
[disclaimer] OK, I have no idea what Xen is, and I have no idea what documentation you are reading that says you need an initrd[/disclaimer], but a combination of the Gentoo LVM2 guide at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm2.xml
and the TDLP LVM how-to at
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html
worked fine for me.... and say nothing about an initrd image.
