I installed Gentoo on a virtual machine (VMware player), with LVM,sytemd and Grub2. I performed this installation several times without any problem on other machines. When I boot, I got this message: !! /dev/mapper/vgo-root is an invalid root device !! Please file a bug report with this message I tried genkernel-next-55 and genkernel-next-58 with the same effect. I checked genkernel-next code and it is generated because ${REAL_ROOT} is not a block device, although I don't know why. I tried configuring grub2 on /dev/dm-0, but the problem is the same. The initramfs was generated with: genkernel --lvm --udev --install initramfs I don't see anything else when it boots, but perhaps I'm missing a message. I can provide more information, but I don't really know what is relevant to this bug. Just tell me what to include and I'd be glad to provide any information. Reproducible: Always
Please post your `emerge --info sys-kernel/genkernel-next' output in a comment.

I kind of experience of same problem, haven't dug too much. what's I noticed is a) build kernel with genkernel-next at lvm system, has no problem. b) build kernel with genkernel-next at non-lvm system,and transfer initramfs/kernel to a lvm machine, have problem to boot
is this still valid for version 63?
