I'll do but first I want to see a working terminal, too much stuff to debug otherwise. > Re-install GRUB or whichever boot manager you use and make sure it points to > the correct kernel.

It's grub2, non-UEFI. I don't normally reinstall it when I update the kernel, I only run grub-mkconfig. I did the same this time. > Make sure you are using a kernel set up for openrc. Good catch, although I'm not sure where to find that info in the available kernel log. I'll look better, I need to stop it from scrolling. > In /etc/rc.conf set up a log file and temporarily enable logging.

The random service is part (possibly the last service) of the boot runlevel which is entered after the sysinit runlevel. So apparently a lot of openrc stuff has already started successfully. Instead, nothing from the default runlevel is output. I'll re-check those services. raffaele
