Thanks Rich for the explanation. Yes, I don't use an initramfs as it's not necessary in my simple case. Fortunately, Jeremy's hint to use root=PARTUUID= works just fine (if one knows about it) Helmut On 06/25/2016 09:46:21 PM, Rich Freeman wrote: On Sat, Jun 25, 2016 at 2:33 PM,

[gentoo-user] Me, and how to troll LIKE A BOSS.

Hello, Let me introduce myself again. I'm 38. I have no job, I have not had a job in 4 years. I can't get a job because I have not had job in 4 years. Literally, nobody will hire me. My computer is six years old. All I want it to do is just keep working the way it did last week. My health

[gentoo-user] Kaffeine update: Missing channels and no sound :(

Hi, recently an update to kaffeine via emerge was installed on my Gentoo PC. Since I am using no other DVBT-viewer I was happy for the update. But I was wrong. All channel settings were deleted and I had to rescan again - including removing unwanted ones... Then at least one channel is missing.
