Description Tony Vroon (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-09-02 11:54:43 UTC
Kernel build processes have recently changed and now generate two version strings. This violated an assumption in the dolilo script, which in turn wrote a defective configuration file.
Additionally, using /dev/ram0 for an initramfs-driven boot did not work as expected because that device node does not exist once booted.

Arches, please test & mark stable:
