I try a new installation after your quick install guide
I cannot install grub
grub-install --efi-directory=/efi
error /efi dosn't look like EFI partition
/etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /efi vfat noauto, noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 / ext4 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom noauto,ro 0 0

Hello Peter:
Did you write the fstab by hand?
I recommend to use genfstab which forked from archlinux
run this:
| Code: |
genfstab -U /mnt/{maybe there is a gentoo} > /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab
cat /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab # Just to be sure
|
before you chroot into the new root (if you use arch-chroot,run this before that,make sure all your partions are mounted to their mount point)
grub-install error seems like that you did not mount your EFI partition to /mnt/gentoo/efi (or maybe your partition type is not right, I use gdisk and set ef00 for it's partition type)
and please do grub-install after your kernel installation is over (make sure you have installed sys-kernel/installkernel,there are some USE flags on that package what you may need to look out) |

borje2,
| Code: | | error /efi dosn't look like EFI partition |
the cause of this error is that this partition does not have the ESP-flag, or that the ESPartition was not mounted ... neither is possible IF you really follow the installation instructions step by step. I can only provide further help if you show us what you are really doing. I expect a LOG like I do for my own installations: look at it, BUT DON'T USE IT:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/temp/delete_me
(it is outdated; this installation was before switch to 23.0-profiles and before switch from /boot to /efi)
I want to see every step ... from switching on the machine and connecting an USB-stick with stage3-amd64-?????.tar.xz (insert your choosen file) ... and really EVERY command - even if it is only an “ls”

borje2,
I fell responsible for the introduce "qcheck" into the conversation, so I want to be clear.
The reason I suggest use "qcheck" is because it is said in the post thread, that all necessary input modules were installed and yet the xorg log show not able to find the module file. therefor I suggest use "qcheck" to very the package's integrity. This check is to eliminate the possibility there may be some unintentionally act that have cause the default system design not working. For example I was wondering could that be there was ungraceful shutdown that cause corrupted file system that cause some lost files.
using "qcheck" to examine entire system will always report something missing or changed. This is expected, because the packages default setting usually will not meet user's requirement, so there always some changes done to configuration files. therefor some "MD5-DIGEST". Although "AFK" is bit more unexpected but not unheard of. because something might rebuild or reconfiguration that cause the "missing file" no longer required but not recorded in to package database, therefor it report them as missing.
Finially, I sugges you open a new topic, and mark this topic as abandon. since you no longer facing SDDM problem. |

I think @pingtoo's advice to start a new thread is very good - do it.
The reason I referenced the quick install guide is because it is the latest and most up to date... and has been reviewed by our great developers @Sam, @negril and @csfore. Unfortunately in the meantime it turned out that in very rare cases copying the repos can cause problems. Here (only here) our AMD64 Handbook is more up to date (*). So skip these steps:
| Code: | # mkdir -p /etc/portage/repos.conf
# cp /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf |
but do everything else in: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Draft/Quick_Installation_OpenRC_for_an_UEFI_System
| Quote: | | sys-kernel-linux-firmware was masked |
This error is - actually - impossible, because linux-firmware is currently available in the stable version 20240513. Maybe you had a problem with the licence ... to be on a safe side use this in your make.conf:
| Code: | | ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" |
(only for the installation; later you can choose what you want)
I said I want to see every step, so start again from the beginning, and as soon as EVEN ONE problem occurs, STOP (immediately == not trying more) and send the COMPLETE installation LOG along with the EXACT problem description ... in a new thread.
P.S.:
*) I have just deleted these two lines in the quick installation guide.

No ... I dont think you have a problem with it ... it was recommended many years in our AMD64 Handbook.
| borje2 wrote: | | can you tell me locale setting again? |
I did:
| Code: | # nano -w /etc/locale.gen
! Add => de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
# locale-gen
# eselect locale list
# eselect locale set 7
# env-update
# . /etc/profile |
You surely will need something for sweden:
So maybe:
| Code: | # nano -w /etc/locale.gen
! Add => sv_SE.UTF-8 UTF-8
# locale-gen
# eselect locale list
# eselect locale set X
# env-update
# . /etc/profile |
but I am not sure ... because I dont know swedish ...
