I had tried both with no change.  I did notice this tho when trying the
new version again.

[ebuild     U ~] sys-kernel/dracut-041::gentoo [034-r4::gentoo]
USE="-debug (-selinux) -systemd% (-device-mapper%*) (-net%)"
DRACUT_MODULES="(-biosdevname%) (-bootchart%) (-btrfs%) (-caps%)
(-cifs%) (-crypt%) (-crypt-gpg%) (-crypt-loop%) (-dash%) (-dmraid%)
(-dmsquash-live%) (-gensplash%) (-iscsi%) (-livenet%) (-lvm%) (-mdraid%)
(-multipath%) (-nbd%) (-nfs%) (-plymouth%) (-ssh-client%) (-syslog%)
(-systemd%)" 

It seems that everything is disabled regardless of what I put in
make.conf or dracuts conf file.  So, how does one tell dracut to enable
lvm?  I don't think I need the other stuff.  Having lvm would be nice
tho.  ;-)  It seems to work with the old version just fine but this new
version has something different.  I couldn't find anything in the build
log file to give me a hint.  Forums didn't help any either, although I
did find a post with the same question I am asking.  Just no answer.  :/

Thanks.
