A few months ago after updating my kernel I started getting an invalid
opcode error during boot on the init process on my initramfs which I did
rebuilt. Switching to the old kernel and initramfs fixed the problem so
I kept that kernel for a few months for lack of time.
Today I rebuilt the whole system using `emerge -e @world` and after that
I'm able to boot the new kernel but now some pre-compiled packages (and
some that emerge -e missed because the ebuild was masked) crash with
illegal opcode. In the case of chrome it's not crashing but it only
renders garbage for webpages.
Does anyone have a clue what is happening? It's like the instruction set
changed after the kernel update (or was it the microcode?)
Thanks,
