need assistance to install on the computer

[pabloblo]

hello everyone, I managed to install gentoo with genkernel, gentoo-kernel and gentoo-kernel-bin but it doesn't work by compiling the sources myself, I can't find my error, there is something I hurt
in /boot I have:
efi
grub
amd-uc-img
kernel-6.6.30-gentoo-pabloblo
initramfs-6.6.30-gentoo-pabloblo.img

so in summary :
Write a new thread in our forum, with information:

a) What you want (== target system)
i want to install gentoo with systemd desktop archiv portage

b) What you did
I finished installing it but when I restart it is stuck

c) What is the exact problem / error message ...
when I restart the computer, I arrive on a screen with 3 entries:
gentoo gnu/linux
advanced options for gentoo gnu/linux
uefi firmware settings
I press enter
then I arrive on a screen:
loading linux 6.6.30-gentoo-pabloblo
initial loading ramdisk
and there you have it, the screen freezes and doesn't go any further

d) ... at which step you did
at reboot

Hello, I did the necessary and checked, now when I restart I have a line which is added after :
loading linux 6.6.30-gentoo-pabloblo
initial loading ramdisk
-) EFI stub: loaded initrd from linux_efi_initrd_media_guid device path
the screen remains blocked at this stage


I saw how it was activated in the wiki, but it is in the handbook, it is recommended to activate it

EFI stub support
The following kernel configuration options must be enabled:

KERNEL Enable EFI stub support for Kernels 6.1+
Processor type and features --->
[*] EFI runtime service support
[*] EFI stub support
[ ] EFI mixed-mode support (OPTIONAL

what to do, and what should be removed?

At the end of the day you will need to decide whether you would use boot loader (such as grub) or you will use EFI STUB kernel (when kernel image itself is bootable). Configuration is different for these two cases.

I tried to install again, this time I changed the way of doing it, I replaced the "make menuconfig" command with a command that I found on the internet: make localyesconfig
and amazing, everything works! so I think the problem comes from the .config file, but I don't know where the error is located
I will continue looking

[pabloblo]

I understand why it doesn't work because it's not grub the bootloader, it's efi stub, I want grub myself, i don t want efi stub

pabloblo,

Install and set up grub. It can use the same kernel as you already have.

yes you re right, i install it but the computer prefer efi stub, i don t know why, i sure that s my problem since the beginning
i put systemd flag, maybe it s the problem

[pabloblo]

ok, I'm going to read all that, I prefer to learn, I've already looked, I'm not discouraged hihi

pabloblo,

Don't expect to get your kernel config right first time.

We can tell from the error messages and your kernel .config file what needs to be changed.
The good thing is that the kernel config can be changed. No need to throw it away and start again .. unless you change it with $EDITOR

pabloblo,

I dont understand what you want: Using grub as bootmanager or booting directly via UEFI? Maybe read all links I gave in the other thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8828106.html#8828106
after:
"LATER - if you want - you can switch from your used bootmanager to an UEFI boot of your kernel, but it is not so easy."

If you have a systemd installation and want use grub then take also a look into:

YOUPIE!!!! I managed to install gentoo by compiling the sources, with grub as I wanted, I am super happy, on the other hand I did not succeed with systemd, I succeeded with openrc, according to my brother this tool is not modern, does gentoo work well with openrc? despite everything I'm super happy
