I am using zfs, which is sensitive to hostid, that led me to the problem, the problem shell script line in sys-kernel/genkernel is gen_initramfs.sh: printf "$(hostid | sed 's/\([0-9A-F]\{2\}\)/\\x\1/gI')" > ${TEMP}/initramfs-base-temp/etc/hostid manual execute this command which shows # rm /etc/hostid # hostid a8c00100 # printf "$(hostid | sed 's/\([0-9A-F]\{2\}\)/\\x\1/gI')" > /etc/hostid # hostid 0001c0a8 it seems the byte-order is incorrect Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 438502 [details, diff] Patch to fix problem Attached is a proposed fix. Right now genkernel writes the hostid in big endian order. This patch byte-swaps the hostid if on a little-endian machine.
already fixed in current genkernel, close.
