Thanks for the help. I've migrated my 3 operating Gentoo machines; main desktop, backup desktop, and an old used Lenovo Thinkpad X201. The poor thing was thrashing away for over 18 hours with 657 packages on the emerge --emptytree!!! And that's after using a homebrew bash script to select the max available speed on the CPU.

My 2 desktops and the Thinkpad all have integrated Intel graphics, so I'll sit at 6.1.67 until 6.7.x, or higher, goes stable. /var/db/repos/gentoo/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.7.10.ebuild is already present, but is keyworded "~amd64". -- Roses are red Roses are blue Depending on their velocity Relative to you
