|
I have been trying to install the bin kernel on my new gentoo install but I cant figure out where it is getting installed. It looks like its not being placed in /boot
I am not using a separate /boot partition and i mounted my efi
This is my fstab:
| Code: | UUID=FA26-3B1F /boot/efi vfat fmask=0137,dmask=0027 0 2
UUID=857d36cd-ab31-4349-a875-9ba45c15e276 / btrfs subvol=/@gentoo,noatime,compress=zstd 0 0
UUID=41c9da3b-d044-434b-b853-c18170bd4040 swap swap defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 |

Found cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup/, full unified hierarchy
Found container virtualization none.
Directory "/boot" is not the root of the file system.
Couldn't find an XBOOTLDR partition.
Failed to check file system type of "/efi": No such file or directory
File system "/boot" is not a FAT EFI System Partition (ESP) file system.
Using EFI System Partition at /boot/efi as $BOOT_ROOT.
Using entry token: 292fed8dc0094343a8bd9e6c3d5cb98c
Kernel image not installed to '/usr/lib/modules/6.12.16-1-lts/vmlinuz', requiring manual kernel image path specification. |
| Code: | ls /boot/efi/EFI/Linux/

It looks like it thinks that /boot/efi is the /boot directory and it is complaining that my efi partition is not a FAT EFI partition. Not sure what it complains about as in my efi partition is working properly for another distro. |
