Gentoo: Kernel problems remain.

Alrighty sports-fans.  The kernel issues continue.  I am a little
confused at this moment.  Perhaps I do not know my new laptop's hardware
~ as well as I thought.  There are two main mental-looptyloops I'm having:

The Genkernel image has the following appended to the kernel line:
	root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/hdc7 init=/linuxrc

My kernel, of course, has no such nonsense, but rather:
	root=/dev/hdc7
but of course adding this nonsense doesn't help.  Could somebody please
explain what I'm witnessing here, and is it a Gentoo-patch or some
alternative way of booting which I am not aware of? (not that it
necessarily makes a difference, but I had run genkernel on this and then
reconfigured and compiled without cleaning anything up.)

The boot issue seems to boot things mostly up, but after loading the md
driver, I get:
VFS: Cannot open root device "hdc7" or unkown-block(22,7)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(22,7)

Any pointers?
