Maybe, but the fault is certainly not this flag but something else. For instance, that you do not have keyworded something which you should have.

It would probably be helpful to post more relevant output, like portage output including --verbose and so on so that it is clear what it is actually doing. systemd-utils blocks systemd, so I can't see how it could force you to install systemd (after all, it just supplies things that are otherwise bundled with systemd already). Maybe in addition to setting the boot USE flag you also changed something else? -- Rich -- Rich

They're fine in UEFI BIOS setup, and they're fine after the default kernel has finished booting - just not at boot menu time. :( -- Regards, Peter.

What is one supposed to do in the face of such chaos? I confess that the machine is perilously close to being hurled through the window. -- Regards, Peter.

I generally blame such behavior on "phase of the moon and blue magic dust." Is it time to go to your local church to ask if the priest will perform an exorcism?
