I have bought me a shiny new Supermicro X10DRi-T motherboard with two Xenon-E5-2620-v3 CPUs for use as a server.
I have configured the MB for UEFI-mode only and my rescuecd-USB-key boots find in UEFI-mode. Following the Handbook and the "EFI System Partition" handbook I have created the following GPT-disklayout: root@sysresccd /root % parted /dev/sda print Model: ATA ST1000DX002-2DV1 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 3146kB 2097kB fat32 grub bios_grub 2 3146kB 137MB 134MB ext2 boot boot, esp 3 137MB 4429MB 4292MB linux-swap(v1) swap 4 4429MB 5503MB 1074MB root 5 5503MB 1000GB 995GB vg Partition-1 was created like this: mkfs.fat -F 32 -n efi-boot /dev/sda1 Partition-2 was created like this: mkfs.ext2 -T small /dev/sda2 GRUB_PLATFORMS was set to "efi-64" in make.conf before emerging grub:2 /boot and /boot/efi is mounted like this # mount | grep boot /dev/sda2 on /boot type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl) /dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) I had to remount /sys/firmware/efi/efivars in rw-mode, otherwise grub-install would complain. grub-install was run like this "grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi" And "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" has been run without any errors. efibootmgr shows my gentoo as the first entry # efibootmgr Timeout: 1 seconds BootOrder: 0000,0001,0002,0003 Boot0000 gentoo Boot0001 Hard Drive Boot0002 Network Card Boot0003 UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell But when I boot without the USB-key inserted I always "lands" in the Built-in EFI Shell - NO sign of GRUB. Any suggestions where I have gone wrong?
