1 Hello list,
2
3 A word to the wise:
4
5 I was caught out today when compiling a new kernel. I used to have a few code
6 pages compiled as modules, as well as UTF-8 built in, but today I couldn't
7 mount /boot for the new kernel because it needed ISO 8859-1 built in - the
8 mount command didn't cause the module to be loaded.
9
10 Now, of course, I have any likely code pages built in.
11
12 Is this a bug or a feature of the 6-series gentoo-sources, or possibly just
13 6.2.x? Anyway, I was going from 6.2.0 to 6.2.1 when I was tripped up.
14
15 Hope that helps someone.
