(In reply to Myk Taylor from comment #0) > The directory that sys-kernel/linux-firmware installs into has changed from > /lib64/firmware to /lib/firmware.

All users should have always used /lib/firmware even when it was a symlink. I cannot find any reference to CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR (or EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR) in the portage tree. On the wiki, only https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel_microcode mentions it. Please answer comment #1, bug seems to be invalid. |
