I see your problem, I think. You don't have your ESP mounted, so grub can't write the EFI files to it. You are likely trying to use grub with grub-install /dev/sda. That won't work for EFI. Try this (as root): mkdir /boot/efi mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /boot/efi grub-install --target=x86_64-efi

[gentoo-user] Cannot emerge 32 bits version of gnome libraries

[gentoo-user] U.V.C. Webcam Disconnects shortly after Registration
