The GPT is read fine by grub2. But, grub 2 cannot find the kernel, explicitly the error messages from grub2: error : file '/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.9-pentoo' not found. error: you need to load the kernel first Here is the fstab: UUID="EFA3-8415" /boot/efi vfat default 0 1 #sda2 UUID="cf76566e-bf4e-4dee-ab9d-6fc2bcdd5b1b" /boot ext2 defaults 0 1 #sda3 UUID="0ef33e5a-7869-418e-86be-1ef5e16b4495" none swap sw 0 0 #sda4 UUID="fc8efde7-359e-41b1-94b0-8a9a868bdf24" / ext4 defaults 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom audo noauto,ro 0 0 If you look at the table, which I followed, the names are in all caps, but I used lowercase; could this be the problem? The table from the aforementioned doc: Select "gpt" as Partition Table Create the following partitions: # FS Size mount point name /dev/sda1 vfat 256M /boot/efi UEFI /dev/sda2 ext2 64M /boot BOOT /dev/sda3 swap 4G SWAP /dev/sda4 ext4 16G / ROOT Booting GRUB-2 through UEFI On "4. Install Bootloader" choose "UEFI-GRUB". The UEFI boot partition will be /dev/sda1. The GRUB device path will be (hd0,2) - the default, /dev/sda2 where the kernel resides. ANY IDEAS? James
