This got me booting - but it is strange! The initrd still says that it 
can't find any software raid devices, but now it CAN find the lvm 
volumes and it boots all the way. Once I log in I see that I have all my 
raid devices started, and all the right things are mounted.

There is an issue however, that after it finds the lvm group and start 
booting, I get "rm - can't remove /sys/blah*" spewing across the screen 
for about 2 minutes, then it goes and boots just fine.

Has anyone heard of these issues?

I assume lvmraid option is new as I had this working without it 
previously. Perhaps Gentoo devs have changed the way all this works?
