 Posted: Sun Jan 26, 2025 4:41 pm Post subject: Boot Issues 2015 Macbook Pro |
 |
|
I installed gentoo onto an external drive on my 2015 Macbook Pro (macbookpro11,4) using Oddlama's gentoo-install. After rebooting, I held down the ALT key to see all available bootable drives, but the gentoo drive did not show up.
I also tried writing an EFI entry manually by first chrooting, then running:
| Code: | efibootmgr --create --part 1 --label "Gentoo_usb" --disk /dev/sda1 --loader '\EFI\gentoo\bootx64.efi' -u 'init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd root=/dev/sda2 rootfstype=ext4 raid=noautodetect'
|
The first time I rebooted after running `efibootmgr`, it actually worked---booted straight to gentoo! But subsequent reboots it only boots whatever is on the internal SSD, and holding ALT upon booting, the gentoo (USB) never shows up in the list.
What should I be inspecting in order to see what's missing here? In reading about boot loaders, and reading the README for gentoo-install, it's not clear to me exactly what gentoo-install is using for a boot loader.[/code] |
