All of my Gentoo hosts currently run systemd and none use UEFI, so this configuration should work fine. I'm not sure what indicated otherwise. >From my experience assuming your kernel config is compatible all you really need to do in order to switch to systemd is use the systemd profile, run updates, install systemd if it hasn't already happened, and configure your bootloader to use systemd as init. Oh, and regenerate your initramfs if you want it to use systemd. I'd have to check my notes, but that is roughly it. Obviously you'll need to configure your networking/services/etc once you have it all running. -- Rich
