How do you know it booted fine? Did you have a monitor attached?

For instance whether it came from ssh, the network, PAM or whatever else is involved in the login process. Perhaps it’s got something to do with ssh host keys, because after moving the SSD, the system has a different IP, but your machine still knows the host key from a different IP. Did the error message start with @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@? > It likely has a simple fix but it's either reinstall or target practice. Due to the nature of Gentoo, I’d always prefer fixing over reinstall. It’s just faster and better for the environment. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
