After upgrade to kernel 5.4.28 I've found the network has gone. I've found following lines in dmesg: [ 1.063895] Run /init as init process [ 1.192409] r8169 0000:02:00.0: realtek.ko not loaded, maybe it needs to be added to initramfs?

I'm using sys-kernel/genkernel-next-69 to configure and build my kernel. Also, I've found easy workaround: using `genkernel --menuconfig` I've forced r8168 driver to be statically linked into the kernel (instead of building a module), and this makes the network working again! emerge --info output: Portage 2.3.89 (python 3.6.10-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/plasma/systemd, gcc-9.2.0, glibc-2.29-r7, 5.4.28-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-5.4.28-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i7-6700_CPU_@_3.40GHz-with-gentoo-2.6 KiB Mem: 16398840 total, 10954004 free KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 free Timestamp of repository gentoo: Wed, 01 Apr 2020 09:00:01 +0000 Head commit of repository gentoo: 911d51162c899624ed92791cae707eaa2c787aa5 sh bash 4.4_p23-r1 ld GNU ld (Gentoo 2.33.1 p2) 2.33.1 app-shells/bash: 4.4_p23-r1::gentoo dev-java/java-config: 2.2.0-r4::gentoo dev-lang/perl: 5.30.1::gentoo dev-lang/python: 2.7.17-r1::gentoo, 3.6.10::gentoo, 3.7.7::gentoo dev-util/cmake: 3.16.5::gentoo dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.29.2::gentoo sys-apps/baselayout: 2.6-r1::gentoo sys-apps/sandbox: 2.13::gentoo sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13-r1::gentoo, 2.69-r4::gentoo sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3-r3::gentoo, 1.11.6-r3::gentoo, 1.12.6::gentoo, 1.13.4-r2::gentoo, 1.14.1::gentoo, 1.15.1-r2::gentoo, 1.16.1-r1::gentoo sys-devel/binutils: 2.33.1-r1::gentoo sys-devel/gcc: 9.2.0-r2::gentoo sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.2.1::gentoo sys-devel/libtool: 2.4.6-r6::gentoo sys-devel/make: 4.2.1-r4::gentoo sys-kernel/linux-headers: 5.4::gentoo (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.29-r7::gentoo Repositories: gentoo location: /usr/portage sync-type: rsync sync-uri: rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage priority: -1000 sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest: yes sync-rsync-extra-opts: sync-rsync-verify-jobs: 1 sync-rsync-verify-max-age: 24 telred location: /var/lib/layman/telred masters: gentoo priority: 50 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf /usr/share/config /usr/share/easy-rsa /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt /usr/share/maven-bin-3.3/conf /usr/share/maven-bin-3.6/conf /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/dconf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php7.4/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php7.4/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php7.4/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" ENV_UNSET="DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DISPLAY GOBIN PERL5LIB PERL5OPT PERLPREFIX PERL_CORE PERL_MB_OPT PERL_MM_OPT XAUTHORITY XDG_CACHE_HOME XDG_CONFIG_HOME XDG_DATA_HOME XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" FCFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-docompress binpkg-dostrip binpkg-logs config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles ipc-sandbox merge-sync multilib-strict network-sandbox news parallel-fetch pid-sandbox preserve-libs protect-owned qa-unresolved-soname-deps sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync xattr" FFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="C" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="pl" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --omit-dir-times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --exclude=/.git" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" Unset: CC, CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, CXX, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BINHOST, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4]. Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.

The kernel version 5.4.38 suffers from the same issue. Which means there were no other complains from the others over time. Which means the problem can be reproduced only on this machine. As this machine is too busy for doing investigations and frequent reboots, I have made a mental upgrade of my current workaround to a permanent solution for this machine.
