Do kernel stuff

cd /usr/src/linux
make && make modules_install
make install

Grub2 stuff: add additional parameters to kernel
nano -w /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”domdadm rootfstype=ext4″

Initframes

# emerge genkernel
# genkernel --install initramfs

To configure genkernel add your mdadm.conf file to your initrd with the “MDADM_CONFIG=” option in /etc/genkernel.conf

nano -w etc/genkernel.conf

MDADM_CONFIG="/etc/mdadm.conf"

If you need specific support in the initramfs, such as lvm or raid, add in the appropriate options to genkernel. See genkernel –help for more information, or the next example which enables support for LVM and software raid (mdadm):

# genkernel --lvm --mdadm --install initramfs

grub2 setup

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

check result in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and compare raid device id with

blkid | grep /dev/md3

Reboot

livecd linux-3.15.10-hardened-r1 # exit
exit
livecd ~ # umount -l /mnt/gentoo/dev{/shm,/pts,}
livecd ~ # umount -l /mnt/gentoo{/proc,/boot,/sys,}
livecd ~ # reboot
