It has been some time since I installed Gentoo.
After partitioning, and installing the system after reboot I get kernel

I think I install grub in a wrong way.
When I mount "boot" content of /boot:
ls /boot/

Is your EFI directory /efi or /boot? If it's /efi, then your mountpoint
should be in /boot as is in your /etc/fstab.>
When I unmount "boot" content of /boot:
ls /boot/
System.map-6.1.57-gentoo config-6.1.57-gentoo grub
vmlinuz-6.1.57-gentoo
The /efi directory was empty
I moved /boot to /boot_backup crated /boot directory again
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot
run:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot
installed kernel by running "make install" by default it install to boot ( I
think). Change fstab from /eft to /boot:
#/dev/nvme0n1p1 /efi vfat noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot vfat noauto,noatime 1 2
but now when system boot it can not find any kernel, it just display "grub"
command on the screen
Please read the necessary documentation:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Bootloader
Your boot partition is /dev/nvme0n1p1 and its mountpoint is /boot. You must
create this partition with the appropriate EFI System type (in gdisk use
EF00).
The /efi directory must be at the top of the /boot partition filesystem,
accessible via /boot/efi.
I'm kind of confused at this point.
Where the kernel files should be copied? /boot or /efi directory
- System.map-6.1.57-gentoo
- config-6.1.57-gentoo
- vmlinuz-6.1.57-gentoo
In fstab I have:
/dev/nvme0n1p1 /efi vfat noauto,noatime 1 2
If /efi is a boot partition I assume the kernel files should be there as well;
but somehow it doesn't work.
The link you provided instruct user to run:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
When "/dev/nvme0n1p1 is mounted on /efi"
shouldn't it be:
grub-mkconfig -o /efi/grub/grub.cfg
