SATA / NVRaid missing mappings


Gentoo 2006.0 - text install, regular boot cd.

Ugh - had a huge post and somehow lost it when doing a preview. Have installed Gentoo probably 100 times, but this is the first time on a raid. Cutting this one short - I think I am just missing something simple. The problem is that I am missing my /dev/mapper/nvidia_* mappings after rebooting with the genkernel created files.

Did the normal install added dodmraid on the command line and got my /dev/mapper/nvidia_abbbdfda[1,2,3] partitions. [boot - ext2, swap, root - ext3]

Chrooted to new install. Emerged dmraid, emerged genkernel, emerged grub.

Ran: genkernel --dmraid all

Installed grub according to the faq. Everything was happy and successful. Renamed my genkernel created files.

grub.conf kernel line is (one line)
/kernel root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk=8192 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/mapper/nvidia_abbbdfda3 dodmraid vesafb...

initrd is just /initrd


rebooted and get a dmraid cannot find root partition error. "shell" to the ramdisk and look in /dev/mapper and all that is there is /dev/mapper/nvidia_abbbdfda - no [1,2,3] partitions.

Am I missing something simple here? If I boot from the gentoo install cd with the dodmraid I can see the /dev/mapper/nvidia_abbbdfda[1,2,3] partitions, just cannot seem to see when with the genkernel --dmraid created one. Although I can see the raid drive itself.

Thanks for any help!
