sda1 /boot ext3 sdb1 not used yet
sda2 /swap sdb2 /swap
sda3 and sdb3 are Raid partitions with LVM for / and /home as /dev/sabayon/root and /dev/sabayon/home
After the install, on the first boot I get 'Block device /dev/sabayon/root is not a valid root device...'
At the shell I cannot see any raid or lvm in /dev at all.
Surely Sabayon should boot into LVM on Raid. On my own machine I am not using raid yet, hope to later this week, but it is perfectly happy booting into a system with root in LVM.
Fromthe LiveCD I can modprobe raid1 then activate the LVM with vgchange -a y sabayon and then mount the system. I have to use mount /dev/mapper/sabayon-root rather than mount /dev/sabayon/root to mount, so I tried that in grub.cfg as the real_root, and changed the /etc/fstab as well to match but same message on booting.

Any ideas on how to get the kernel to recognise my LVM on the raid1
Thanks
