You are reading it wrong. That means: util-linux needs to be built with USE="static-libs" because lvm2 is already built with USE="static" None of which explains why you originally built lvm2 that way. > > # required by virtual/udev-208-r2 > # required by @selected > # required by @world (argument) > #virtual/libudev static-libs > > # required by virtual/udev-208-r2[gudev] > # required by @selected > # required by @world (argument) > #virtual/libgudev static-libs > > There's a couple more but you get the idea.

This has nothing to do with genkernel. More than likely, you followed some daft advice on teh intarwebz saying you need a static lvm to be able to boot / on lvm. -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
