I've now managed to get a framebuffer up on my screen whilst booting. So my boot manager is working, and my video also. Sadly the kernel can't mount my root partition and panics. The said partition is /dev/md126, a RAID1 assembly of two identical partitions on two nvme drives. It's looking like the md driver is not being associated with its major device number (9) soon enough. Or something like that. The same setup works just fine on my current machine. For some reason emerge --sync downloaded the ebuild for gentoo-sources 6.6.47 rather than 6.6.38 which is the current unmasked version. Maybe this newer version is broken. Maybe. More likely, I've just made a mistake, somewhere. Is there an easy way to persuade portage to download the ebuild for gentoo-sources 6.6.38? Why have I got 6.6.47 instead? > Many Greetings, > Peter (aka pietinger) > . -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
