which iwlwifi chipset do you have?
some of the wifi 5 iwlwifi chipsets are buggy
have you ever degredation tested your cpu?
if your build config resembles this fellows build config that's perhaps explainable
My guess is the wifi firmware did not load. It might be missing in initramfs
that fella has never updated bios, never uses uefi, forces getbinpkg and consequentially has tons of use flag omissions
a recepie for system instability and inconsistency
a very old gentoo dev that mentored me ~20+ years ago shared a phrase
I enabled it because it looked cool
it's fun to have experiments until you have to rely on an experiment
my resolution to that build could be move it to it;s own btrfs subvolume and build a stable reliable gentoo build
subvolume multiboot
there's a windows util that tests the cpu
forcing lto with -O3 and graphite maybe was going to be very unpredictable
I RMA'd my Intel cpu last month
The Intel tool was not helpful
too many build jobs also can cause build errors or buggy shared libraries
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=4 --load-average=24 -b" or the other one
MAKEOPTS="-j18"
kiss philosophy works well for gentoo
I'd be scared to build the entire system with those fancy optimizations
if you reported a bug with that build the dev's would review your emerge info and likely tag the bug as wontfix
experiments :)
either way the boot bug result is the summary of the build config being what it is
if you want a reliable build that wont be
check your cpu if you can just to be certain
icarus said the same thing after attempting a full git gentoo build
i'll most certainly help if it;s a benefit with a reliable build you can fun with
prob the most updated
or if you insist on openrc
keep it simple stupid :)
It took me months to prove that the cpu was defective. I could run that Intel IPT tool for hours without errors
i've only learned of it somewhat recently from helping some folks on pcmr discord
figured it was more promising than the usual "just use DDU" recommendation everyone seems to be fed from a straw lol
For me it was very subtle. Every now and again gcc would fail with an internal compiler error, or emerge itself would crash in the python interpreter. It would happen rarely, like once a month, but became more frequent
Of course running the same thing again would work
