Seems like, yes. My dracut.conf was back to default (no options set) so it put everything in there. I now set hostonly="yes" and the initrd went from 21M to ~7M ... nice! thanks! - I rebuilt all the kernels/initrds and now have these loader-entries: # ls -l loader/entries/ total 2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 329 9.

It used to work for me as well, but now it's blocked:

I've probably got the ABI_X86 stuff set incorrectly, but I've never
been able to find understandable documentation on how that's supposed
to be configured on an AMD64 system where you need to support a few
32-bit apps.

Indeed GIMP still can't handle vector graphics. When you open a PDF file with GIMP, you can choose the resolution (dpi) you wanna have. Then GIMP imports the PDF file and converts it to bitmap format. I never had problems with printing large bitmap graphics on any of my printers (some HP, some Epson and one Lexmark printer) as long as I had enough RAM. But I think this also depends on the printer driver. -- Regards wabe

Same thing just happened to me two months later. Weird. I updated this machine early this morning but /var/lib/world is still dated yesterday afternoon, and contains only the packages I updated manually yesterday. Portage evidently had a major brainfart yesterday because I know I didn't edit the world file myself :/

Sometime I guite reading and just start trying things. I too would appreciated reading something clear and concise on these inter-related issues, codes and configurattion. Probably the only help I can provide you is how things are configured on my system, but not "why" related to these issues.. hth, James

[gentoo-user] My machine wakes up from hibernation in GMT time !?!?
I'm in Canada/Eastern timezone. For some reason, my machine seems to come up in GMT when waking up from hibernation. This started happening a week or two ago. I do not think this is related to my conversion and re-install from 32-bit to 64-bit. I worked OK for a while. Only recently did it start waking up with the clock 5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard (i.e. GMT). Since the time change this past Sunday, it's been waking up 4 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight. It definitely looks like it's coming up in GMT. I reset it to Eastern time, but after hibernation and wakeup, it comes up GMT. I don't know why. Any ideas?
