Hi Dear Colleagues,
I have just installed a new Gentoo on Dell 5810 machine with E2697 V3 CPU and 32 GB ECC memory. The procedure of building is smooth and fast, but I stuck at the booting. I followed the Gentoo wiki about grub2https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2 for UEFI with GPT, and tried
the normal guide:
Code:
grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi

and troubleshooting:
Code:
grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi --removable

Both installation are successful and configured by:
Code:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg


I can still view the booting option of the Gentoo device in the efi boot sequence in F2 of Dell Bios Console Panel of My 5810 Machine, but the critical issue is that the BIOS can not boot this Device in the booting procedure.

Meanwhile, some other Live CD such as Calculate Linux Distro Can boot in efi sequence there, I want to know why.

Thanks a lot, saito

Because you misconfigured.
Plz post output of
Code:

ls -R /boot
efibootmgr -v
mountpoint /boot
mountpoint /boot/efi

and also the error msg you get when attempting to boot.

Code:
efibootmgr -v

http://dpaste.com/AXLPDUKU3

Code:
mountpoint /boot/efi

These are msg after my new installation and the booting errors or issues are represented as booting an independent Ubuntu device who has no EFI booting support.

Where is your kernel and initrd?
Nothing in /boot as far as i can see.......
efibootmgr seems ok.
Is /boot also a mountpoint?
It is better if it were.
By the way you dont need pastebin for small outputs.
