Hi Gentoo Forum,

I am trying to install gentoo on a new laptop and I am having issues with grub. At boot it keeps dumping me out at the "Bash like" screen.

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub.cfg
grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/EFI /boot/grub.cfg

I also tried...
grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/EFI --target=x86_64-efi /boot/grub.cfg

Note that I do have /boot/EFI mounted. This is my "disk" configuration:
Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 1.82 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors
Disk model: Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 924C3235-921C-4914-A40B-351C83824DB5

Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/nvme0n1p1 2048 2099199 2097152 1G EFI System
/dev/nvme0n1p2 2099200 73402367 71303168 34G Linux swap
/dev/nvme0n1p3 73402368 3907028991 3833626624 1.8T Linux filesystem

nvme0n1p1 is formatted vfat
nvme0n1p3 is formatted ext4

The grub.cfg file looks right compared to the ones on my other machines. It specifies the UUID, kernel, etc.

It might be connected but when I built kernel linux-6.6.47-gentoo the make install didn't work and I had to copy the files manually.

Code:

If I enter the grub shell:

configfile /boot/grub.cfg

it will load the config file and I get the boot menu and after a little fixing my kernel loads. So it's just grub not seeing it's own config for some reason.

/boot/grub.cfg


It should be /boot/grub/grub.cfg
