The UEFI MoBo firmware will not boot any .efi image from an ext2 partition. It requires a FAT32 partition in which GRUB must be installed: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/EFI_System_Partition https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Bootloader Don't forget to create a backup of your data, before you embark on this exercise.
