What complexity? I have a couple EFI machines booting via Grub, and they work great. I just had to ensure the correct GRUB_TARGET in make.conf and then after I had my partitions setup and formatted, I just did grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/EFI and it went smooth as

Have to agree with Neil on this one. You've got a LOT of updates. World is great, but start with emerge -UDuv @system, after you find the culprit that is still setting python3_6 as a target. Once the system emerge is done then you can try world again and hopefully get a much smaller list. We

You want to add it to the default command line in /etc/default/grub, if it's needed. Frankly, as long as you have ext4 support built in to your kernel (not a module) then I don't think you need it. I've gotten similar warnings on my machines and they've never had a problem loading the root FS.

If you have a rescue cd, then you do just what I see you've already done. run fsck against the file sytem and let it fix any errors. As to being in read only mode, HOPEFULLY that's fixed, but if not you can try manually remounting your filesystem: mount / -o remount,rw On 12/12/2020 12:49 PM,
