After 10 years, I've upgraded my desktop hardware from an Intel I7-4790 to an AMD 7950X. According to the handbook, updating firmware/microcode on the AMD platform requires an initramfs. Okay, this is new to me, but following this article: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Distribution_Kernel#Modifying_kernel_configuration I have a working system. BUT, every time I walk away, the system goes int hibernate/suspend and won't 'recover' when I return. Even though I've created a kernel config (and saved that config) when I rebuild the kernel, it fails to use the 'saveconfig!'

As you can see from the code snipped, I've just rebuilt the kernel with the 'savecconfig' flag set, but the resultant kernel still shows CONFIG_SUSPEND set - even though the gentoo-kernal has CONFIG_SUSPEND unset.
What am I doing wrong??? |

dpshak,
I'll bite ...
Your running kernel was built at | Code: | | Sun Jan 19 23:38:06 CST 2025 |
You have a newer kernel in /boot | Code: | | rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20337152 Jan 20 17:23 vmlinuz-6.12.10-gentoo-dist |
so its not yet in use.
It follows that you are not running the kernel you think you are. Probably because its not grubs default choice.
Its possible to build the CPU microcode into the kernel, or put it into its own initrd too.When you have several initrds, they are all loaded and used.
