Hello list,
I'm installing Gentoo on a new Juno laptop, and I've reached the point of booting into the new system. I have a separate /usr partition and I'm using dracut to create an initramfs.
On booting the new system I get an error I haven't heard of before: dracut complaining "sysroot has no proper sysfs layout". I'm sure I've done something
stupid, but where do I start debugging this? Google hasn't helped.

Makes me wonder what is causing that. Made me think a bit.
Have you double checked your fstab? Maybe you missed updating a line,
missed commenting something out or a typo maybe? Any strange kernel
options added to your bootloader? Typo maybe? Have you double checked
that the file systems you use for /boot and / are built into the kernel?

Is CONFIG_SYSFS=y set in your kernel?

Yes. I don't see it in menuconfig, but a search for it says it's set by a boolean expression that evaluates to TRUE.
