There's a page on the Gentoo Wiki that covers EFI, but this is what I have set % zgrep EFI /proc/config.gz CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y CONFIG_EFI=y CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y # CONFIG_EFI_MIXED is not set CONFIG_FB_EFI=y CONFIG_DMI_SCAN_MACHINE_NON_EFI_FALLBACK=y # EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) Support CONFIG_EFI_VARS=y CONFIG_EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS=y CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS=y # CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_EFI is not set I don't think genkernel will help with EFI, but manual configuration is no big deal. You could let genekernel generate a configuration to set as a starting point. Really though, manual configuration is just a case of following the handbook, just like any other part of setting up Gentoo. -- Neil Bothwick "Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable." - Mark Twain
