Thank you, figueroa, you sent me in the right direction.
I do not need (for now, at least) something that complex for sending email within a full network. But I found out that postfix can deliver itself the mail to any local mailbox. Then a small IMAP server is needed, that Thunderbird or any other ...

I am also using the postfix + thunderbird combination, but did not upgrade yet to thunderbird 91.
Now, I don't even remember how exactly I set it up this way, probably with the help of some web page a long time ago. But today, most instructions I find are about using thunderbird with a movemail ...

(without knowing details about the setup on a Raspberry Pi)

northfrisia, with OpenRC there is a fsck service that should be doing that, based on the contents of /etc/fstab.
You can see with rc-update if it is enabled for any of the runlevels.

Ok, good to hear that! So a newer kernel solves it.
But be careful with version 5.10.0, I read around here that it has a major bug related to XFS filesystems.

You could now keep an eye on what versions of gentoo-sources become stable in the future, to stay closer to the portage tree.

I think the amdgpu-related configuration looks ok. It is similar to mine, but I have a much older card.
Some ideas I have right now, in case something helps:
you compiled the AMDGPU driver as a module, so it is not needed to include the firmware files into the kernel; you could remove all of them ...

I admit that I dont't fully understand all the details, but: the original grub.cfg mentions hd2, while the bootable entries listed by efibootmgr contain hd1.
Maybe the grub config file needs to be re-generated?
