23 Hi Andrea,
24
25 I have switched the harddisks again and I am back
26 at my "old" (but working) system.
27
28 I have review the logs the new system has
29 left behind in /var/log...and according
30 to the "dmesg" file it shows the
31 but untill all partitions get mounted.
32 rc.log stops here:
33
34 * Executing: /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /etc/init.d/local start
35 * Starting local ...
36 [ ok ]
37
38 rc default logging stopped at Tue Apr 7 19:29:36 2020
39
40 which is identical to what rc.log shows at my
41 old system.
42
43 So nice to fine...or...
44 I have tried to login blindly but that does not work...
45
46 It seems, that the framebuffer thingie is the culprit
47 here...I have reconfigured the kernel according to
48 what you have suggested...but nothing changed...
49
50 I have no further ideas...
51
52 Cheers!
