I have an old installation of gentoo in a SSD, I remove it from my computer, and installed gentoo into a new one.
Now I removed the new SSD and put back the old one, but it didnt 't boot.

Now I went back to the installation steps and typed the command to create a swap partition on /dev/sda2, and update the fstab, but I didn't make any changes on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3.

I reinstalled the bootloader:
Code:

(chroot) livecd / # grub-install --efi-directory=/efi
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.


But when trying to configure, the system didn't find any kernel image
Code:

(chroot) livecd / # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Generating grub configuration file ...
done



My kernel images:
Code:

done
(chroot) livecd / # eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
  [1]   linux-6.1.19-gentoo *


How can I solve this problem?

That's not kernel images. That's kernel source directories.
You must make sure that the kernel is built, then installed.
If installed, you will find kernel and related files into /boot.
Then grub-mkconfig will find them.
From your chroot, what is the content of your /boot ?
Code:

# ls -l /boot

I solved this priblem, I moved the files on /efi to /boot and it worked.

I don't understand why the bootloader breaks only unplugging the drive, it works all the time I used UEFI GRUB bootloader.
