Thank you for your replies.

After emerging @world i am left with a bunch of dependency conflicts regarding dev-libs/icu :
$ sudo emerge --ask --update --newuse --deep --keep-going @world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

@Josef.95: Thanks: After running your suggested command

@logrusx, @georgi: :oops: You are right - my previous profile has probably been [5] default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop

Thanks a lot!
That solved the problem.

Since i had a crash recently, my display manager lightdm doesn't start properly anymore: after a faint flash of colors the screen goes black. When i press alt-ctrl-F1 i see the console where all the start up messages are displayed.

On the other hand, startxfce4 works correctly.

The display manager ...

In my BIOS the CSM was indeed enabled.
After disabling it, the boot process worked fine.
Thank You!

I just found out that the /sys directory on my disk does not contain a firmware/efi subdirectory -
there are only the acpi , di and memmap subdirectories.
This is obviously the reason for the error message cited in my previous mail.

Hi Pietinger
Thank you for your reply.

I guess my system is even more messed up than i thought.

I did not explicitly upgrade grub, i only ran emerge --update--newuse --deep @world .
I don't know if this pulled in a new version of grub, but it cerainly uipdated some other packages.

I have UEFI.

It is, however possible that i didn't have /boot mounted when i first ran the grub-mkconfig .
But ...

After an emerge of @world i changed some options in /etc/default/grub : GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
Then i did sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg , followed by a restart.

After the ASUS Bios splash screen, I caught a short flash of something that might be the grub menu, but in ...

I found a sort of workaround:
After having unmasked dev-util/spirv-llvm-translator-17.0.0-r2, I emerged it without encountering any errors.

After that, emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world also completed without any further error messages.

So this solved the problem for me.
