I tried installing UEFI GPT too a few months ago, but I had a semi success. After some days of fiddeling around with parameters and variables I could boot the system, but I can't see the kernel output or open-rc. But the X loads and the system works after that like normal, but without the textual ttys. terminal emulations like xterm or so work. So I would install it again, but it isn't as easy as thought. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Randolph Maaßen
