Editing while booting 1.95

Trying out 1.95 I hit a problem, it seems that if I edit any text with 'e'dit while booting it won't load the initrd image.. So, I noticed this when removing vga=1 in the linux line there..

Anyways, when it doesn't work (I have edited something on boot) the kernel says (typed, probably errors):
VFS: Cannot open root device "neutron/root" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(0,0)

Initrd isn't loaded before the kernel panic, so I'm guessing that is the problem.

menu.cfg:

set timeout=10
set default=0

menuentry "Gentoo Linux Default" {
      set root=(neutron-boot)
      linux /vmlinuz dolvm2 root=/dev/neutron/root ramdisk=16384 vga=1
      initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.18-gentoo-r1
}


got a couple of more menuentries, but they are more or less the same.

About my setup, amd64 computer .. actually, if you need any information just ask :)

oh, I'm using lvm and it works, except if I have a lvm mirror volume .. then I have to use either mirror and not the device itself, anyone know if it is going to be supported?

Mvh,
