Having problems with the Gentoo Handbook? If you're still working your way through it, or just need some info before you start your install, this is the place. All other questions go elsewhere.

[SOLVED] problem 3.10 and initrd by genkernel - 3.8 works

AMD 64bit, Kernel 3.8 works fine with UEFI boot by refind boot manager. Kernel 3.10-r1 hangs :( No boot screen at all. I know about the rootfstype parameter advice, but my rootfs is jfs (not ext3-4), and boot partition is ext2. Advice needed, I have 2 questions about the situation:

1. Which kernel compression mode should be set - gzip or bzip2? I set bzip2, because from previous millenium was always typing "make bzImage" :) Maybe, I am wrong, but no such parameter was visible in menuconfig.
2. What was changed in creating initrd by genkernel? By the way, point me to RTFM | URL, where to read.

Currently, I have 2 sections in refind config, exactly copy-pasted with only 2 differences - bzImage.old with initrd.old is booting (3.8 ) , bzImage with initrd.img hangs (3.10. r1) :( Help needed.

Added later - solved after kernel 3.10.17. What it was, no mind, but something was exactly fixed
"The Matrix has you!" - "Let it be...."
