Cause lots of folks have tried the new stuff-age (grub-2, gpt, UUID_names etc etc) and have several borked installs. On my last btrfs (raid one attempt) I still never figured out how to set up the fstab to get it to boot. Dozens of failed attempts. *NOTHING* yielded a simple raid one with btrfs using all the new crap. If it's so easy, just post the explicit steps and quit referring to that arcane ((1980s)) handbook. Go read gentoo-dev lots of devs do not even use gentoo methods to install gentoo systems. And go try to figure out a normal gentoo embedded install on a common board. See my links on the CLS install post from 21 july for ideas on a straightforward gentoo (derivative) installation method that is commonly used by some of the gentoo devs...... > There were words in the gentoo guide suggesting that it is tricky to set > up dual booting windows. You do not even have to try dual boot to get a borked gentoo install. It's gotten to the point that gentoo devs use various (sabyon, calculate, etc) gentoo derivatives to perfrom gentoo installation. ymmv. hth, James
