[gentoo-user] New installation - not booting
It has been some time since I installed Gentoo. After partitioning, and installing the system after reboot I get kernel selection from grub and hitting enter, I don't see any text scrolling on the screen, and I don't see the login screen. Is the text scroll disabled for booting or is my configuration incorrect?

I used dd to erase partition table etc from the drive and started over from scratch. The drive still does the same thing. I have to restart LVM for it to allow me to have the LVM part I need to make cryptsetup work. It is really weird but this is the only drive that does this. I ran smartctl -l selftest and it passed. I'm not sure what to think about this. As soon as I can, I'll replace the drive just in case something is wrong that smart isn't picking up on. Dale :-) :-)

Now that it is fixed, this file isn't filling with anything. It just sorta sits there. I did empty it at one point and it has stayed that way for a bit now. Maybe recompiling some packages and getting everything up to date given other issue with opencascade and such fixed whatever it was that caused it. If it starts filling itself with useless stuff again, back to the solution you gave. Thanks for the help. :-D Dale :-) :-)

That is wrong. The mountpoint for the ESP should be NOW /efi (therefore you see in our AMD64 handbook a "mkdir /efi"). /boot is the standard directory for the kernel ... and it is NOW an ordinary directory of the root directory (so yes, the content of it resides in the root partition). Dont mount anything to /boot. Yes, a "make install" (or genkernel) installs the kernel into /boot. If /etc/fstab should be: /dev/nvme0n1p1 /efi vfat noauto,noatime 1 2 (IF this is your ESP) After mounting this ESP to /efi (and no mount on /boot + kernel IN boot) you should run: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi AND a grub-mkconfig ! (so this routine will find your kernel in /boot and add it to the grub's config file; Yes your grub will be also in /boot/grub.

(see more with "efibootmgr) With grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg you configure grub - residing IN / boot/grub = THIS is the second part of grub !! Maybe read: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Tutorials/ Boot_kernel_via_UEFI#Prerequisites_for_an_UEFI_boot (only this chapter; not the next chapter, because it is a guide for installing a stub kernel)

I've been operating that way for some years, but I have reason to believe that things have changed. I'll start a new thread tomorrow. -- Regards, Peter.
[gentoo-user] mailto net-mail/metamail
I think "mailto" used to be part of the package net-mail/metamail But I think is long time gone. What is the replacement? I just need to send myself an email from the command line to test postfix. -- Thelma
