1 Hi,

3 make sure you have XFS compiled into the kernel ( not as module), or include it into the initramfs ( dunno how you would do that with genkernel though, I don't use an initramfs ). Grub should include a line saying root=xxx, maybe you have to set rootfstype, had to do that for BTRFS. Also make sure that you have sata ( or nvme if you use that ) compiled into your kernel.

10 I'm trying to install Gentoo in my notebook, but kernel, during the boot, do not find the root partition.

12 I'm using UEFI boot, I've tried Genkernel, I've checked XFS's support in kernel's menuconfig and re-cheked GRUB config files, but is a pain, do not work.

14 I've installed Funtoo with Debian Kernel first, but Funtoo KDE's ebuild was pointing to a invalid URL and I've switched to Gentoo and now I'm suffering this problem to boot.

16 Have anyone some information, about this Kernel's boot didn't finding root partition? Is better configure kernel without Genkernel? I need to pass some commands to Kernel via GRUB?
17
18 PS.: Appear to be very simple configure UEFI, because I'm using Refind and it was working with Funtoo, and I realized this problem is with gentoo kernel's config, but I do not know where I need to config.
