Hi all, yesterday I compiled/installed new kernel 2.6.13-gentoo ... after reboot I saw "Calculating module dependencies" and if I not press reset button (after circa 10 minutes), it probably calculates it forever I rebooted old kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r9, but boot failed in the same way again. After some investigation I found, where the problem is ... the last job of boot sequence was: /etc/init.d/modules -> /sbin/modules-update -> /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf generate-modprobe.conf gets the list of modules to test from command: "/sbin/modules{,.old} -c" The list contains "microcode" line on which generate-modprobe.conf stops ... I modified generate-modprobe.conf, to delete "microcode" line (using ... | grep -v microcom > $MODPROBECONF) and then my gentoo starts in normal way again PS. I use "microcode-ctl" ebuild Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
