Hello guys, I installed Gentoo like you said, followed the manual, and now this after the first restart.

HALP MAYBE?

Use a live CD to chroot in your installation & reinstall the GRUB bootloader.

Something similar in that regard, somehow you're missing GRUB bootloader

You fell for the meme

>>56010974
I dunno how familiar you are with Linux or life in general, but what you're experiencing now is known as "trial and error." You simply tried to install Gentoo, but had an error along the way. All you have to do is figure out what you did wrong (it appears that the bootloader isn't correctly installed), and then A) attempt to fix the problem as it is or B) start over from the beginning, but try to find where you went wrong the first time.

Using this "trial and error" methodology, you can (eventually) conquer any task and subject. Sorry I don't have a specific answer, OP.

Look at this guy. He fell for the falling for memes meme.
>>
>>56011486
If you must ask this, you shouldn't be using Gentoo. Try a more user-friendly distro like Mint or Ubuntu before you jump on the Linux hating bandwagon because you failed to install Gentoo.

le shut up!!!!11!1!1 :((((

>>56011865

Agreed, Ubuntu is a better place to start. Trying to debug grub over 4chan is not going to go well.. its frustrating enough in real life.

Gentoo is going to be a constant stream of frustration that you would be better avoiding. I only see the point of knowing 4 distros:

server/desktop
debian/ubuntu
centos/fedora

What? you are asking how to chroot? what the actual fuck?
Didn't you just chroot to install gentoo?
Anyway, you need to
 grub2-install /dev/sda # or however the whole disk device is called for your hard drive (not a partition, the whole disk)
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub-cfg #or fucking something, been a while since I did that
# in sum: rtfm

Insert Life CD to rescue

>>56010974
you need to create a grub bios boot partition
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2#Partitioning_for_BIOS_with_GPT
and do a grub-install /dev/sda again

Senpai...

If your BIOS is set in UEFI mode then just nuke grub and install rEFInd .
>>
Use libreboot
>>
Make sure you're using the right BIOS (If your board supports UEFI use that)
