No idea what the issue was with 5.10.37, but it seems to have gone away with the version bump. Since 5.10.37 is no longer in-tree, I guess we can mark this as resolved? I can reopen if another gentoo-kernel build randomly gives me a broken image. Sure, thanks for the report. I'm sorry that we couldn't help you. |
Created attachment 709947 [details] kernel saved config After installing gentoo-kernel-5.10.37, my system failed to boot - BIOS screen would persist for a couple seconds longer than usual, then reboot with no messages of any kind appearing. I rebuilt the kernel and reconfigured my EFI to no avail - furthermore there were no unusual warnings or errors during the kernel build process. Downgrading to an existing gentoo-kernel-5.10.36 image fixes everything - should I try to rebuild 5.10.36 and see what happens? I have attached my kernel config (identical to the 5.10.36 config except for version number in the header comment). I am not using grub, rather EFISTUB with a baked-in kernel command line. I have been using this setup for maybe a year with zero problems until today.
