No zfs module on this iso!

livegui-amd64-20240526T163557Z.iso

even though its with grub, its not in the /lib/modules/ tree.

Below is my attempts to locating the zfs module

thanks in advance for sorting this out!

When switching from genkernel to dist-kernel this feature was lost temporarily. While you wait for it's return the admincd can be used with ZFS as a workaround.

Thanks the info.
I'll use the AdminCD.
Look forward to the updated liveGUI, the console is a smaller font size which makes it easier to use.
As well as all the other Gentoo items added ;-)
