Hello,
I'm missing something, but I can't figure out what.
I'm installing gentoo on a VM as usual, except for one nuance. I decided to try not gentoo-source with subsequent kernel compilation, but gentoo-kernel-bin.
The disk is marked as follows:
Code:

Disk /dev/sda: 100 GiB, 107374182400 bytes, 209715200 sectors
Disk model: QEMU HARDDISK
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 49457C66-4167-4FED-8469-F25F9E31BDDD

Device       Start       End   Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1     2048   2099199   2097152   1G BIOS boot
/dev/sda2  2099200 209713151 207613952  99G Linux filesystem

blkid:
Code:

/dev/sda2: UUID="a3b3d704-3416-4325-9e43-680e765ec72f" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="3bf86cca-1e55-4a4b-baa8-d743ca13380f"
/dev/sda1: UUID="378a4c12-552b-4dc1-b611-6b6301cb6cef" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="8b9fccfb-e01c-4dcd-8c2d-31cb0b1537ca"

fstab:
Code:

UUID=378a4c12-552b-4dc1-b611-6b6301cb6cef   /boot   ext4   defaults   0 2
UUID=a3b3d704-3416-4325-9e43-680e765ec72f   /   ext4   defaults   0 1

ls /boot:
Code:

drwxr-xr-x  6 root root     4096 Mar 10 23:27 grub
-rw-------  1 root root 11317584 Mar 10 23:26 initramfs-6.12.16-gentoo-dist.img
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 20290544 Mar 10 23:26 kernel-6.12.16-gentoo-dist

eselect kernel list:
Code:

Available kernel symlink targets:
  [1]   linux-6.12.16-gentoo-dist *


When booting, I only see:
Code:

Booting from Hard Disk...
GRUB _


Perhaps I didn't perform some actions when installing the bin kernel, I run the installation like this:
Code:

echo "sys-kernel/installkernel dracut" > /etc/portage/package.use/installkernel
emerge --ask sys-firmware/intel-microcode sys-kernel/linux-firmware sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin
emerge --ask @module-rebuild
emerge --config sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin


grub:
Code:

echo 'GRUB_PLATFORMS="pc"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf
emerge --ask sys-boot/grub:2
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg


Perhaps you will notice what I'm missing?

What is your hypervisor? Qemu? Virtualbox?

Where is your unformatted 2MB BIOS Boot partition so grub can write supplemental data? It cannot be the same as /boot that you have as ext4.
