# cat /boot/loader/entries/30-gentoo-5.7.1.conf |
| 24 |
title Gentoo Linux 5.7.1initrd=/intel-uc.img |
| 25 |
linux /vmlinuz-5.7.1-gentoo |
| 26 |
options root=/dev/nvme0n1p4 initrd=/intel-uc.img net.ifnames=0 raid=noautodetect |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |

in all the .../entries files and 5.4.38 also still boots happily. |
