ACK. I just thought that I'd point it out. |

If you're loading the kernel from grub, you don't have to compile the |
| 28 |
efi stub/stuff into the kernel. |

Looking at your grub.cfg, I wonder whether "linux /vmlinuz-4.6.7 ..." |
| 41 |
is correct. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Looking at your original "tree" output, it looks like you're mounting |
| 44 |
the ESP at "/boot" and that grub's being loaded from |
| 45 |
"/boot/EFI/gentoo/grubx64.efi". |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
What are the grub.cfg lines that start with "search" and "set root"? |
