My system works without problems for years but since 2 days dwm loads but I can't see anything on the screen. It is total black. Shortcuts work, I can open a console, type sudo reboot and the PC reboots.
I can see BIOS loading on the screen, so it is not a screen issue.

After BIOS I see
Code:
Loading Linux 6.6.67-gentoo ...
Loading Initial ramdisk ...
-


and then nothing...

I tried with older kernels but the problem remains.

What can I do? I have no access to console. I can go in my system with a rescue usb, but what can I do to resolve this issue?

Thank you!

Have you tried it with gentoo-kernel-bin?

hariskar,

do you use a manually configured kernel? Was there a kernel Update? Have you done this kernel update with "make oldconfig"?

Maybe check with this chapter: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Experimental/Manual_Configuring_Current_Kernel#Framebuffer_Device_and_Console
