I've got a Gentoo install using a GPT partition table and Legacy boot
using Grub2. There is a single /root parition and a single swap
partition on the drive.
I did not create a bios-boot partition at the start of the disk, so I
had to force grub2 to install using block-lists. I'd like to fix

Doh! How did I not know that? I've been doing "sudo bash -" for
years. All those wasted bits...

It's a single, global value in the kernel so it has the same affect on
all linux kernel

I've set up a serial console by adding the following to my kernel
command line:
console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1
It works fine for the first few seconds as the kernel starts up. All
of the expected messages are sent out ttyS0.
But, soon after init starts, the serial console stops working.

I used to run revdep-rebuild after every update, but a few years ago I

I just did my usual update
sudo emerge --sync
sudo emerage -auvND world
I noticed that it was downgrading sqlite from 3.43 to 3.42. OK, we'll
assume that portage and the devs know what they're doing...
Now this happens:
$ svn status
svn: E200029: Couldn't perform atomic
