  • [gentoo-user] grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory

    From n952162@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 27 14:40:01 2022
    Hello all,

    has the default been changed from BIOS to EFI?

    Do I have to, e.g. set the platform USE flag and reinstall the humongous
    grub package or is there an option I can pass to grub-install?

    I see I have this:

    CONFIG_EFI=y

    CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y

    CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y


    ... or will I have to rebuild my kernel?

    Surely genkernel would have determined that I have a BIOS system....
    wouldn't it have?
