I should have added that the remote compilation works well with the cable. I have found though that the linux-firmware ebuild requires the /boot partition to be mounted, which it shouldn't be on a foreign machine, so I say emerge -uaDvN --exclude="linux-firmware-20241017-*", only to find that it's emerged anyway. Dropping that last hyphen gives the required result. Is this a portage bug? -- Regards, Peter.
