#Dist kernel does not detect a boot partition
stone verge
Couldn't get wgetpaste for huge log files, sorry for phone pic but I swear this is formatted correctly
odd blade
why are you using /boot/EFI
a) it should be /boot/efi b) /boot/efi is legacy junk
you should be using /boot and/or /efi
stone verge
/boot alone is previously how I had it, worked for years, just experimenting
odd blade
yeah don't do /boot/EFI
usually the EFI dir is under a mountpoint
like there will be an EFI dir in the root of your ESP
stone verge
I did mount /dev/sdb1 /boot how I normally did it and suddenly it can't find it anymore
odd blade
that is not showing up in the pic you sent
stone verge
Here's where I remount it in the normal place
It can't be that the ebuild got super strict as to where the partition is
stone verge
Was gonna try efibootmgr again, there is grub also installed but I have no kernels for either or to detect
stone verge
specifically what are your USE flags on installkernel
efistub and ugrd are the only flags for that
stone verge
Also any other package like Intel microcode or Linux firmware spits the same error
keen wharf
Well ofcourse they all have to install stuff to EFI
stone verge
What's making portage not detect a perfectly functional FAT32 partition mounted at /boot
keen wharf
Are you 100% sure that it is mounted there?
stone verge
I'm very sure, I literally did mount /dev/sdb1 /boot
keen wharf
wait you said you dont have any files on your boot partition?
Try creating a /boot/efi directory?
odd blade
I'm very sure, I literally did `mount /dev/sdb1 /boot`
the efistub flag wants to use /efi as a mountpoint
stone verge
the efistub flag wants to use /efi as a mountpoint
Should I turn it off then? Or I don't actually need efistub flag on
keen wharf
Hm, I am looking at Installkernel wikipage but there doesnt seem to be a layout for efi booting without efistub, and efistub requires /efi
stone verge
My usual layout (that emerge would create) was /boot/efi/EFI/Gentoo/(actual kernel file)

Show us output of 'kernel-install inspect --verbose'
stone verge
I don't have kernel-install or did you mean installkernel?
keen wharf
they are the same
stone verge
layout=efistub
intrid generator = ugrd
uki generator = none
keen wharf
You dont have a "Using EFI System Partition" line?
Actually, try setting "esp" flag on your boot partition
stone verge
You dont have a "Using EFI System Partition" line?
Nope
odd blade
Should I turn it off then? Or I don't actually need efistub flag on
that flag makes it run uefi-mkconfig
odd blade
they are the same
no they are not
stone verge
Ahh well I kinda wanna keep that for the auto efibootmgr entries
odd blade
installkernel is a simple script forked from debian stuff, kernel-install is similar but the systemd variant
odd blade
Ahh well I kinda wanna keep that for the auto efibootmgr entries
ye that's what it's good for
it essentially runs uefi-mkconfig for you
stone verge
Actually, try setting "esp" flag on your boot partition
I thought you don't need to flag partitions as bootable in UEFI?
keen wharf
*shrug, well clearly your installkernel or kernel-install has no idea where it is, so I am just throwing out ideas
stone verge
It's something about emerge because I have this same layout on my laptop with zero issues
Yeah parted says it has boot and esp flag
stone verge
Wonder if Linux Mint's boot repair tool messed me up
