 KDE defaults to letting the multimedia volume keys (Fn+F1/F2/F3) control the HDMI card by default. Switch this to the analog card by opening KMix and setting ''Settings->Select Master Channel...->Built-in Audio Analog Stereo''.
+If there's no sound when logging into plasma (the volume icon has a red cross through it, and the kde settings shows no devices), make sure pulseaudio user daemon is running, and if not start it one-time with ''pulseaudio -D'',

   * Reboot and pray
-==== Failure to boot ====
+Kernel package installations run ''sabayon-dract --rebuild x.y'', which invokes dracut with a bunch of module omissions including all the systemd ones needed for ZFS to work. Therefore whenever upgrading the kernel, be sure to run ''dracut -f /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-$(uname -r) $(uname -r)''.
+Grub 2.02-r3 ships a version of ''grub2-probe'' which can't handle ZFS properly. This means the generated grub config file will contain ''root=ZFS=/root'' instead of ''root=ZFS=rpool/root'' which breaks root filesystem mounting. After installing grub or any kernel package, fix grub,cfg before rebooting.
+====== Troubleshooting ======
+===== Failure to boot from ZFS root =====
 Errors on startup about system not having been booted with systemd. This is a problem with the dracut initrd.
