Hi
Welcome to Gentoo!!!
If it freezes @loding initrd
then it means it finds the kernell but that the initramfs is somehow misconfigured.
How did you create it?
Did you use genkernel or dracut?
Are you using lvm or LUKS or anything fancy?

Hellboy2D,
Welcome to Gentoo
I suspect the kernel and initrd load properly but the kernel never writes on the console because something is missing.
With no debug information we need to do some analysis to try to deduce the problem and fix.
Boot with your boot media and run post the output.
This describes your hardware.
Explain how you made your kernel and put the kernel .config file onto a pastebin as its too big for a post.
wgetpaste is a big help.
Get into your chroot and run
| Code: | | wgetpaste /usr/src/linux/.config |
will put the file onto a pastebin site.
Post the link so we can find it.
Lastly for now, do you have linux-firmware installed?
Many modern video cards need firmware to be installed and most of it is provided in that package.

Hellboy2D,
Your video card is | Code: | 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso [1002:15d8] (rev c1)
Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Picasso [1025:134d] |
Putting 1002:15d8 linux kernel into startpage.com tells that the kernel needs DRM_AMDGPU.
Looking at your kernel you have | Code: | | CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU=y |
is safe.
| Code: | | # CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE is not set |
one or the other of those should get you an early console, before AMDGPU starts.
| Code: | | CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU=y |
requires that you have the GPU firmware listed in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=...
You have amdgpu/polaris... files listed there but your GPU is a Picasso, so you need | Code: | ls /lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_*
/lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_asd.bin /lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_pfp.bin
/lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_ce.bin /lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_rlc_am4.bin
/lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_gpu_info.bin /lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_rlc.bin
/lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_me.bin /lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_sdma.bin
/lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_mec2.bin /lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_ta.bin
/lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_mec.bin /lib/firmware/amdgpu/picasso_vcn.bin |
Fix your firmware and add in FB_SIMPLE=y too. Even if it still doesn't work we may get some debug info.

I activated the FB_SIMPLE and put the right firmwares but is the same and no debug info. Maybe should be my media pendrive i did other post because when i finish my installation and reboot i had.
| Code: | Remounting /mnt/cdroom read only ...
In use but fuser finds nothing ...
ERROR: mount-ro failed to start

Hellboy2D,
That's safe to ignore. When the kernel shuts down, it will clean up correctly.
Please pastebin your new kernel .config, your /boot/grub.grub.cfg, or your boot loader config.
The output of will be useful too as will
Are you sure you booted your new kernel?

Hellboy2D,
That all looks good. About the only thing i can think to try is to make AMDGPU a module.
It will start later but it will help itself to firmware.
Leave the firmware in the kernel. Once we have some debug information we can try again.
Another thing to try is to add nokms to the kernel line. AMDGPU won't work like that but Simple Framebuffer or EFI Framebuffer will.
At the moment, we are only looking for clues.

So now i did the module but i see for 1 second a message when i start the boot and i filmed to catch and it says:
| Code: | | ERROR: file '/grub/locale/pt.gmo' not found |
I think its not important but i only see this
And i think maybe the problem is the hard drive disk, in other times i did a install and my hard disk is not recognized |

Hellboy2D,
It is important. It breaks grub.
Add
| Code: | # fix boot error error: file /boot/grub/locale/C.gmo not found
LANG=C |
to /etc/default/grub and rerun the command to make the grub.cfg file.
Your kernel has NVMe support. Grub loads the kernel, when the kernel starts it will not read block storage until it goes to mount root.
By then, the console should be working and you see a kernel panic.

So i put the command and nothing. The system still freeze.
And the kernel panic occured in the other install a kernel panic who did can not read block device
I will do other install with kernel few configs, no initramfs and amdpgu only modules |

So I was having the same issue... I found that it was due to my kernel being compressed via LZO, and my initramfs being compressed BZ2..... compressed my initramfs with LZO and viola! all better.
