Also if you've booted your live media in legacy mode then efibootmgr might not do anything because efivars are not accessible in this mode. That could explain the situation when you have grubx64.efi but no boot entry. So check that you're booting live system in UEFI too. On Sun, Apr 10, 2022, 20:0

If it's a similar laptop I assume you have grub2 installed in EFI mode. Check if you have grubx64.efi in your EFI partition (usually //EFI/gentoo/). Also check if you have efi boot entry for grub with efibootmgr utility. if grub-install with EFI target was used on a new system it should call efiboo
