32 I'm using now linux-5.4.72-gentoo, grub only. Install boot loader from
33 scratch.
34 I only use genkernel to install initframes:
35
36 genkernel --install --kernel-config=/usr/src/linux/.config initramfs
37
38 No, errors during startup in dmesg. So I have very little to go by.
39 Trying "touch 1.txt"
40 Read-only file system.
41
42 I'm using slim, but I can deal with X later on.
43 Something happen to this system and I can not fix it, it is a brand new
44 installation, but not reliable :-/
