Hi there,
I'm new to Gentoo and installed it a few days ago. Everything was working fine (I was able to boot and setup everything) until I decided to upgrade the Kernel. When I reboot it just hangs and after waiting (for the dracut timeout), I get the message: dracut Warning: /dev/nvme0n1p5 does not exist (my root partition), and then I get dropped in a dracut recovery shell.

I am using a distributed Kernel and Systemd boot. First I thought that there are problems with the initramfs, but I think it's setup correctly, but I'm not quite sure how I can confirm this.
This is my systemd boot entry.
Code:

# Boot Loader Specification type#1 entry
# File created by /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/90-loaderentry.install (systemd 255)
title      Gentoo Linux
version    6.10.2-gentoo-dist
sort-key   gentoo
options    root=/dev/nvme0n1p5
linux      /gentoo/6.10.2-gentoo-dist/linux
initrd     /gentoo/6.10.2-gentoo-dist/initrd


I already tried this to rebuild the initramfs
/efi/gentoo/6.10.2-gentoo-dist/linux: Couldn't identify a suitable partition table or file system.

I have already seen some other posts, but I couldn't find any success with any of the solutions :_(

Please try to use the PARTUUID or UUID for your root=. The /dev/nvme* paths are not stable, they may change if your firmware for whatever reason initializes the disks in a different order.

I tried both UUID and PARTUUID but the issue persists.
