but 5.4 is the latest supported version by this version of zfs.
stay on 5.4 kernel if you use zfs, it's LTS kernel.

Just to clarify, I realized my previous message is a bit short.

This is by design, zfs-0.8.3 does not support linux-5.5, nothing I can do here.
Next release of zfs probably will support newer kernels.

you can mask 5.5 kernels so they don't get automatically installed by portage

add to package.mask
>=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.5
>=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-5-5

and you'll be getting updates to 5.4 kernel only. after new version of is released you can retry it with newer kernels.
