It was so simple, and the clue was in an earlier message. # cat /boot/loader/entries/30-gentoo-5.7.1.conf title Gentoo Linux 5.7.1initrd=/intel-uc.img linux /vmlinuz-5.7.1-gentoo options root=/dev/nvme0n1p4 initrd=/intel-uc.img net.ifnames=0 raid=noautodetect All I had to do was to remove the slash from initrd=/intel-uc.img. I did that in all the .../entries files and 5.4.38 also still boots happily. Thanks to those who offered help. -- Regards, Peter.
