Hi

Current stable version of genkernel (3.4.49.2) builds initramfs images without proper support for LVM cache (ssd as hdd cache). Thus LVM cached root/partitions are unavailable at boot time.

To boot properly sys-block/thin-provisioning-tools utils must be included + its c++ dependencies (libexpat.so*, libgcc_s.so* and libstdc++.so*)

I suggest a separate command-line argument for genkernel to include those.

Reproducible: Always
