You shouldn't use the same layout directive for both systems - see below. > In /boot, the output of make install is different : > On the internal ssd : > vmlinuz-6.6.30-gentoo initramfs-6.6.30-gentoo.img config-6.6.30-gentoo > System.map-6.6.30-gentoo > > On the new one : > kernel-6.6.30-gentoo initramfs-6.6.30-gentoo.img (no config nor System.map > files) > > My question : > Why these differences (kernel name, config and System.map) ? The old system using the GRUB bootloader in the MBR will install its files in /boot. The new system in the EFI/ directory within the ESP. Take a look at the following news items, which explain recent changes: https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2024-02-01-installkernel-new-use-systemd-boot.html https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2024-03-12-debianutils-installkernel.html Also you should read this very detailed page on how to configure install.conf for both of your systems: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installkernel
