13 The kernel did not oops, there were just the messages
14 Booting 'Gentoo GNU/Linux'
15 Loading Linux x86_64-4.9.76-gentoo-r1
16 and here it was just hanging.
17
18 I normally do not like to have an initramfs but to com further I
19 installed genkernel and let it build the kernel.
20 The genkernel generated kernel does boot and everything, except on thing
21 (at the moment), works - I can ssh into the box and continue configuration.
22
23 The one thing that is not working is that I do not see ANY boot-messages
24 on the console (it just says Loading Linux and Loading initial ramdisk
25 ...), and I do not get a login-prompt and can not switch VT.
26
27 But as I said, I can login with ssh and can now continue with the setup,
28 the "Console" has to wait.
