I recently upgraded several systems from gentoo-sources-5.10.76-r1 to |
| 2 |
5.15.11, using my usual approach |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
copy current config to new sources |
| 5 |
make oldconfig |
| 6 |
all modules_install install |
| 7 |
run dracut |
| 8 |
reboot |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
All worked well except my desktop, which just sits there showing |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
EFI stub: Loaded initrd from command line option |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
So the bootloader has loaded the kernel but then there is absolutely |
| 15 |
nothing. I tried removing the initrd option, but then it went straight to |
| 16 |
a blank screen without the above message. I left it for a while, in case |
| 17 |
it was just a case of no output, but nothing happened, not disk or |
| 18 |
network activity, nothing. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I tried using make olddefconfig instead, but it made no difference. The |
| 21 |
old kernel still boots normally. With nothing, literally, to go on, I am |
| 22 |
stumped here. |

This is my working /proc/cmdline, the only change is in in the version |
| 25 |
numbers |
