I'll put that on my todo list.  Try to do that when I know I'll need to
reboot or something.

Have you seen this before?


(chroot) livecd /usr/src/linux # dracut --kver=$(cat
include/config/kernel.release)
dracut[I]: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --kver=6.9.4-gentoo
dracut[F]: Can't write to
/efi/dba652170b7a716f303c3c5966799436/6.9.4-gentoo: Directory
/efi/dba652170b7a716f303c3c5966799436/6.9.4-gentoo does not exist or is
not accessible.
(chroot) livecd /usr/src/linux #


The directory inside /efi does not exist.  This is from the boot media,
not the chroot environment. 


livecd ~ # mount | grep efi
/dev/nvme0n1p1 on /mnt/gentoo/efi type vfat
(rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
livecd ~ #

I removed the efi parts for the live media that is booted.  The efi
partition is mounted rw and is vfat.  Right?  I used touch to create a
test file and it created the file in /efi from within the chroot
environment just fine.  It seems dracut has a issue tho.  I went back
through the docs and don't see anything I missed but I don't see what it
is that creates what dracut is looking for either.  This is the correct
file structure??
