I recently upgraded several systems from gentoo-sources-5.10.76-r1 to
5.15.11, using my usual approach

copy current config to new sources
make oldconfig
all modules_install install
run dracut
reboot

All worked well except my desktop, which just sits there showing 

EFI stub: Loaded initrd from command line option

So the bootloader has loaded the kernel but then there is absolutely
nothing. I tried removing the initrd option, but then it went straight to
a blank screen without the above message. I left it for a while, in case
it was just a case of no output, but nothing happened, not disk or
network activity, nothing.

I tried using make olddefconfig instead, but it made no difference. The
old kernel still boots normally. With nothing, literally, to go on, I am
stumped here.

This is my working /proc/cmdline, the only change is in in the version
numbers

initrd=\amd-uc.img initrd=\initramfs-5.10.76-gentoo-r1.img root=LABEL=loon 
rootfstype=btrfs rootflags=rw,noatime,ssd,space_cache rd.shell net.ifnames=0 
nopti init=/lib/systemd/systemd
