You are right, systemd dropped support for static libudev (or any other library for that matter) in version 205.[1] If you want to use systemd provided libudev for lvm & c. in an initramfs, you'll need to include the shared library and binaries linked to it. I believe both dracut and genkernel-next support shared libudev, while the current versions of genkernel do not (hence why genkernel is masked on the */systemd profiles). While I have limited experience with genkernel, dracut has dragged in all the shared libraries I have required of it. 1: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=5e63ce78b5018ba612e794a610a6f13c5eefade7 -- eroen
