[gentoo-user] Problems booting vanilla kernel 4.1.x

[Peter Weilbacher]

Dear all,

after successfully using kernel 4.0.5 (vanilla-sources) for a while, I
upgraded to 4.1.5 last week and 4.1.6 today. I cannot boot either of
them. On the screen I see

   Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done.
   Booting the kernel.

as the last thing, then it just sits there.

To upgrade I copy the previously used .config to the new kernel
directory and run genkernel with --no-clean and --menuconfig so that I
get the same config as before -- unless I change something, which in
this case I didn't. (This has worked very nicely since 3.1.x or so).

Does that ring a bell with someone?
   Peter.
