I shall think myself lucky. Converted the
majority of my file systems (var home) on laptop, desktop and qemu to
ext4 a few weeks ago and was rebooting like crazy last night on 3.5.7.
with my desktop after losing ptys, network and keyboard when downgrading
openrc.
Shall reverse and make sure backups are in place.
Thanks for the warning. I would hate to lose my xpenguins program
