They are doing what I'm trying except using Grub-Legacy not Grub2 so I'm fairly confident it'll work as needed. The info they provided: gdisk /dev/sdb GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.6 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT. Command (? for help): i Partition number (1-4): 1 Partition GUID code: C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B (EFI System) Partition unique GUID: 29884E5A-69FF-42E8-AB7B-0DEB95FB6EA9 First sector: 63 (at 31.5 KiB) Last sector: 81915434 (at 39.1 GiB) Partition size: 81915372 sectors (39.1 GiB) Attribute flags: Partition name: 'Linux/Windows data' Command (? for help): p Disk /dev/sdb: 976773168 sectors, 465.8 GiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): 0F7425A1-EB79-4B6A-A7F2-1F98F8E7D8A9 Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 976773134 Partitions will be aligned on 8-sector boundaries Total free space is 5099 sectors (2.5 MiB) Number Start (sector)End (sector) Size Code Name 1 6381915434 39.1 GiBEF00 Linux/Windows data 281915435 163830869 39.1 GiB0700 Linux/Windows data 3 163830870 245746304 39.1 GiB0700 Linux/Windows data 4 245746305 976768064 348.6 GiB 0700 Linux/Windows data Command (? for help): q title=Gentoo Linux (kernel-3.0.0-gentoo-r1 boot-Test über PartUUID mit gdisk unique guid) root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/kernel-x86_64-3.0.0-gentoo vga=791 root=PARTUUID=29884E5A-69FF-42E8-AB7B-0DEB95FB6EA9 Notice that the did make a mistake in their post - watch the PARTUUID to see what I'm talking about. Easy enough to fix as they showed the entire gdisk info for the root= command.

Been doing more reading and it looks as though you may be correct since I'm using Grub(legacy) not Grub2 that it appears the page talked about. Will check and see if that is the case. Could be,I used grub-legacy for a while in the past and found it not so good too.Hard to configure as I wanted.

The kernel used is the gentoo-sources 3.4.34 with gpt and efi enabled
