• [gentoo-user] ESP and character sets

    From Peter Humphrey@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 26 13:30:02 2023
    Hello list,

    A word to the wise:

    I was caught out today when compiling a new kernel. I used to have a few code pages compiled as modules, as well as UTF-8 built in, but today I couldn't mount /boot for the new kernel because it needed ISO 8859-1 built in - the mount command didn't cause the module to be loaded.

    Now, of course, I have any likely code pages built in.

    Is this a bug or a feature of the 6-series gentoo-sources, or possibly just 6.2.x? Anyway, I was going from 6.2.0 to 6.2.1 when I was tripped up.

    Hope that helps someone.
