Howdy, I been stuck on gentoo-sources 5.14.15 for a while. I tried upgrading to I think 5.16 and then more recently 5.18. I upgraded like I always do, copy .config over and run make oldconfig. Once I get everything in /boot, init thingy and all, I update grub. When I get around to rebooting, the new kernels always fail part way through booting. I can't recall the error since I last tried a newer kernel several months ago.
I'm about to try to jump to version 6.0.5 which is latest in the tree. Is there some major change that causes copying .config file from 5.14 to 5.18 or higher to break? Do I need to configure a new kernel from scratch in other words? While I try to answer each question the best I can, either I'm breaking something or something else breaks preventing updating from older versions. I just don't know which it is. Me or it. Thoughts? Thanks. Dale :-) :-) P. S. Bought yet another 14TB hard drive. Working on filling it up now. While my Cooler Master HAF-932 case is large, I need more drive bays. Dang cases are pricey right now. :/
