00:00 <Lactose> I tried to follow the official install instructions but upon reboot GRUB gets stuck at loading Linux. I'm not entirely sure what it takes to get KISS bootable as I have never built my own kernel before

00:01 <avs_origami> check framebuffer options in kernel

00:02 <avs_origami> try these:

00:02 <Lactose> CONFIG_FB is on

00:02 <avs_origami> CONFIG_SYSFB

00:02 <avs_origami> CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB

00:03 <avs_origami> CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION, CONFIG_FB, CONFIG_FB_VESA, CONFIG_FB_VGA16, CONFIG_FB_EFI, CONFIG_FB_CORE

00:03 <avs_origami> CONFIG_FB_NOTIFY, CONFIG_FB_DEVICE, CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE

00:04 <Lactose> Thanks, I'll give that a try. Do I try enabling all of those at once?

00:23 <avs_origami> Lactose: I'm not sure which ones you actually need, that's just what worked for me. I think specifically CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE is the one that I was missing. If it doesn't work maybe fire up an Arch live iso and look at dmesg

00:32 <avs_origami> also this page might be useful for other hardware-specific issues: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Kernel/en#Alternative:_Manual_configuration
