If you think that both bugs are related, you should do an "all in one" bug report. Add some more information like your boot line command, .config content and your 'emmerge --info'. If you have time enough, you can try to find by yourself what you did to get this bug. Is the problem related to a kernel upgrade for example ? > Any ideas, what's wrong and how I can get back my normal boot? I'd get the rid of the splash option at the boot line command but it's probably not what you're expecting for. Don't know what a "normal" boot is. > Could > this be connected to the kernel?

Well, playing with these options won't help. By "this can be related to the kernel" I think about an internal bug from the kernel. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
