[gentoo-user] Gummiboot ( Error loading \vmlinuz :Not found)
Ok, this was probably my third unsuccesful install on UEFI. This time with gummiboot. I've followed this guide: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gummiboot and did exactly what was written. What is the vmlinuz it is complaining about? Can it be that vmlinuz should read as vmlinuz-3.16-15-gentoo instead? Here is my config file, it is the same as in the guide: title Gentoo Linux linux /vmlinuz options root=/dev/sda3 As always, thank you for your help -- German gentger...@gmail.com

Does EFI find anything to boot? Is gummiboot failing to find kernel? Or is kernel failing to boot or find root disk? What is the content of the UEFI partition's (0xEF00) /EFI-directory and /EFI/BOOT-directory? -- -Matti
