21 hi Mike,
22
23 could you please tell me, where to find these options in menuconfig,
24 because if i'm compiling my kernel i use:
25 genkernel --menuconfig all
26
27 if you are thinking of the options in
28 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml
29 -- these are enabled.
30
31 by the way, if i'm booting w/o the initrd, i get a kernel panic because
32 he is not able to mount/find the raid system -- something with
33 "superblock not found".
34
35 i'm despaired.
36 thank you very much.
