Code:
ERROR: specified firmware directory /lib/firmware does not exist


This is while compiling the kernel, following Sakaki's EFI install guide: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sakaki's_EFI_Install_Guide. Specifically at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sakaki%27s_EFI_Install_Guide/Configuring_and_Building_the_Kernel. All help is appreciated! (first time installing :oops: )

EDIT 1: fix second link

Maybe you forgot to do this before:
Code:
# emerge -v intel-microcode
# emerge -v linux-firmware

also check if you did not leave a whitespace in the kernel config about this option.

Got it, missed

Code:
echo "sys-kernel/linux-firmware linux-fw-redistributable no-source-code" >> /etc/portage/package.license/linux-firmware


After which I had to run

Code:
emerge --ask --verbose sys-kernel/linux-firmware


Thank you all for the help! Solved!
