Hello list,
Would someone please remind me of what frame-buffer kernel settings I need for
an i915 driver? I'm going round in circles, but whatever I try, this new
laptop shows the initramfs-loaded message, then remains blank apart from that.
I can see disk activity, and the machine responds to CTRL-ALT-DEL as expected;
just no display.

Regards,
Peter.

Have a look at this page in general, paying special attention to this section:

After much going round in circles, I found that all I had to do was to emerge
x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev. Why, on that machine and not on others, I can't
imagine.
