en chromium, libreoffice, WebKit-gtk, and Firefox all decide to upgrade simultaneously, but the time I personally spend is - maybe - a couple minutes. The machines do all the actual work. And those few minutes a day are well worth having had the same computing environment for more than a decade, even through substantial changes in my software focus. And it’s been cool enough here this year for the heat generated to be welcome! ;) Definitely *not* arguing against anyone else’s tastes in computing or maintenance. Just expressing my pleasure that Gentoo exists and that I get to benefit from the great work of everyone who makes it possible! John Blinka

hat it’s a grub-Asus thing except for the fact that Sysrescue and Ubuntu both boot successfully. And I think they use grub. Maybe time to experiment with a different version or fresh installation of grub. Except that I’m burnt out on booting. Think I’ll go outside and dig some holes. John >

hose code resided on the root filesystem... That didn’t work, of course, but at least the kernel started to boot and threw out an error message. Here, I just get complete silence. So, I doubt that file system support is an issue. John

the grub editor causes error messages saying grub can’t find what I told it to look for. And those error messages do not occur with the boot script that grub generated. Normally, loading the initrd takes only a few seconds. How does one debug this situation? John
