Have you tried the Gentoo live DVD? It sets up the raid1 on /boot/root/swap (identical drives) really easy. Since GPTfdisk does not exist on any gentoo installation media, it sounds like the easiest (most direct path) to set up a RAID-1 gentoo workstation. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID Is this url the guide you used?

What did your partition setup look like? Can you post or send me privately a copy of the fstab used for the UUID devices, cdrom etc etc? James
