Memtest can be run when I am finished. This is a Core2Duo CPU from a few years back.

I have the kernel set to "Core 2 or newer". I ran memtest for two straight days (48hrs) before beginning this setup. Memory is fine, all 4GB.
*UPDATE*
I started with a kernel configuration from my old work laptop, also a Core 2 Duo. I then changed the drivers for the hardware found on this system as opposed to my laptop. Done this many, many times without an issue. Oh, and I changed the in-kernel firmware from my WiFi firmware to the firmware for the WiFi on this system as well. My laptop CPU is listed below. Note the similarities!

I just stumbled across this in relation to that split multiplier error. The message is dated but may still be true. Something about this not working on split platforms. Original info is here.

OK, rebooted after it was working fine and now a black screen, again.

What is with this driver? My laptop uses the i965 stuff and it works fine.

The_Great_Sephiroth ...
welcome to the club ;) ... I never did resolve that issue (note it's from Jan 2016), I currently boot without inteldrmfb, login as root and 'modprobe i915 ; exit', then login blind to my user account, and startx. Also note that the xorg/xf86-video-intel/opengl stack will probably usck allbs ... if gallium works for your chipset then you should try the modesetting driver first (you may, or may not, get opengl).
best ... khay |

Rebooted and video came back. Is there a way to tell the login manager to shutdown or reboot if the power button is pressed while on the login screen? Apparently this is random so my "fix" is to tell users to press the power button, give it a minute, then power on again if it comes up blank. How can I pull THAT off?

The_Great_Sephiroth ... with a little help from sys-power/acpid:
| /etc/acpid/default.sh: | [...]
case "$group" in
button)
case "$action" in
power) /etc/acpi/actions/powerbtn.sh ;;
[...] |
| /etc/acpi/actions/powerbtn.sh: | if [ -x /sbin/shutdown ] ; then
/sbin/shutdown -h now "Power button pressed"
else
exit
fi |
Those may come by default, I forget what I've added myself.
HTH & best ... khay |

Those are default, but I read not to use acpid along with Plasma/Gnome/whatever because then you have two things handling power events. I only normally install acpid on systems which will be shell only, such as servers.

NeddySeagoon, do you mean add all 95 files in /usr/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/ into CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="..." ?? |
just to update, i add this line to make.conf
| Code: | | MICROCODE_SIGNATURES="-S" |
now emerge sys-firmware/intel-microcode again will only create a few (rather than all) files in /usr/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/ for the current cpu signature. so now, i only have 6 files to contend with.
i add initramfs useflag, and it also creates /boot/intel-uc.img, which i now use in initrd for early microcode update at boot.
adding firmware files into kernel config didn't work on my 32bit gentoo x86. only the early update via initrd works.
Jaglover, sorry for hijacking your thread. but since we discussed all this right here, i thought i would update this here.
