Yes ;-) I do that for days now. What puzzles me: I get the entries into EFI: when I boot I see the entries created by efibootmgr, but when I chose one of the entries pointing to "GRUB2" or "gentoo" the PC tells me that the disk isn't bootable. And I still don't know what is missing. AFAIK that EFI system partition is allowed to be within the first 2 TB of the disk (easy on my 1 TB hdd), has to have the boot-flag set (in parted-terms), and must be type EF02. When EFI doesn't find something bootable on the disk, my interpretation is that it can't find that partition? S
