in any case, I'd need some more information: |
64 |
the link to your .config is broken, I only get an empty page. |
65 |
if the kernel is involved, output of dmesg and rc.log would |
66 |
be needed to. |
67 |
|
68 |
by the way, did you anything with your ACCEPT_KEYWORDS? |
69 |
if not, the best thing would be set it simply ="" (and |
70 |
afterwards --update world, --depclean and revdep-rebuild), |
71 |
but that's up to you. |
72 |
|
73 |
please send me the requested information, otherwise it's |
74 |
difficult to find out what's wrong. |
