I followed this guide for building a custom live cd, but I didn't manage to preform a complete boot.
The kernel boots from the initrd and start scanning modules and after that it states "Could not find the root block device in ." and offers me to drop to shell. When I try to enter shell mode and execute cat /dev/loop0 I get nothing. It seems that the kernel doesn't bind the squashfs image to the loop device.
My menu.lst:

Code:
default 0
timeout 7
splashimage=/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=LiveCD
        kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.7.10-gentoo-r1 real_root=/dev/loop0 looptype=squashfs loop=/livecd.squashfs vga=ask initrd udev nodevfs cdroot dodmraid  rootfstype=squashfs
        initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.7.10-gentoo-r1

title=LiveCD NO-FB
        kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.7.10-gentoo-r1 real_root=/dev/loop0 looptype=squashfs loop=/livecd.squashfs initrd udev nodevfs cdroot dodmraid rootfstype=squashfs
        initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.7.10-gentoo-r1

title=Memtest86+
        kernel /boot/memtest86plus/memtest.bin


fstab:
Code:
/dev/loop0              /               squashfs        defaults             0 0
none                    /proc           proc            defaults             0 0
none                    /dev/shm        tmpfs           defaults             0 0
