I did emerge -uD world, glibc was among the packaged updated. When I rebooted, grub did not automatically start my bzImage. I tried emerging grub again, that did not work. Then I ran grub -> root(), kernel(), setup(), rebooted, and it worked. I guess while updating some part of the system, grub's configuration got overwritten. Is this a CONFIG_PROTECT issue perhaps? I am marking this as Major because if I didn't have direct access to the machine, I would have been a sitting duck. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
