If you use genkernel to build your kernel, then you will have a usable initrd with lvm2/evms/dmraid (via --lvm2, --evms, or --dmraid) capabilities and tools for rescuing your system. This is only good for filesystem rescue, though. It won't help you if you emerge a bad copy of binutils or gcc. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
