What error messages, indications, behaviour do you get and at what stage? > I did use a Gentoo install ISO to do the setup.

I'd give systemrescuecd a spin, it has never failed me so far, although a few years ago I had to perform some tricks to get it to boot into UEFI mode. > The VFAT partition was unreadable by the MB / UEFI firmware, without the > UEFI VFAT driver loading. > > Corbin If what you are describing re. VFAT driver is a MoBo firmware bug, then I can only suggest you upgrade to the latest version of OEM BIOS/UEFI firmware and if that doesn't work you return the MoBo and get another make/model. -- Regards, Mick
