Hi Peter, |

long story short: AFAICT it's a deprecated or moved configuration entry inside |
| 4 |
the file /etc/machine-info and should be safe to just delete, maybe even with |
| 5 |
the whole file machine-info itself. |
| 6 |
|

On my machine with openrc and systemd-boot I don't even have /etc/machine-info |
| 8 |
at all and things work fine together. To me it looks as the variable was just |
| 9 |
thrown out of the machine-info file and in case you would need it you should |
| 10 |
put it into /etc/kernel/install.conf. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I don't know which software uses the string. If you compile your kernel |
| 13 |
manually or using the gentoo-kernel packages it seems to be not necessary. |

(But as always when taking advice from strangers on the internet: First make a |
| 16 |
backup, have a live medium for recovery at hand and test it yourself.) |

Kind regards, |
