the contents of /boot is: |

./grub |
| 91 |
./grub/themes/... |
| 92 |
./grub/x86_64-efi/... |
| 93 |
./grub/grubenv |
| 94 |
./grub/fonts |
| 95 |
./grub/fonts/unicode.pf2 |
| 96 |
./grub/grub.cfg |
| 97 |
./efi (mount point) |

| 102 |
./vmlinuz-5051500-64-RT |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
This was created via |
| 106 |
grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi |
| 107 |
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
| 108 |
|
| 109 |
via booting an live-gentoo-image and chrooting |
| 110 |
into the new system since I needed a system which |
| 111 |
was UEFI-booted (my old system uses legacy boot). |
| 112 |
|
| 113 |
The resulting grub.cfg is attached to this email. |
| 114 |
|
| 115 |
When I boot this setup, grub starts and displays: |
| 116 |
|
| 117 |
booting Linux 5051500-64-RT ... |
| 118 |
|
| 119 |
and freezes. I have to powercycle the whole thing. |
| 120 |
|
| 121 |
The kernel is UEFI- and GPT-aware. |
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
I also tried refind, but this guy gets totally confused, |
| 124 |
and extracts informations from the running kernel (live-cd), |
| 125 |
the root fs from that kernel and bits and pieces from |
| 126 |
the system, which it should start actuallu. |
| 127 |
|
| 128 |
I have tried a lot things I found online...nothing works |
| 129 |
so far. The best result is getting grub, which freeses |
| 130 |
my PC... :( |
| 131 |
|
| 132 |
How can I get this thing booted successfully...I don't |
| 133 |
see the forest for the trees anymore... |
| 134 |
|
| 135 |
Stay healthy! |
| 136 |
|
| 137 |
Cheers! |
