Hi
Handbook + SystemRescueCD according to : http://blog.kasunbg.org/2012/02/installing-gentoo-from-livecd.html / minor differences mainly the chrooting command and for mounting and decompressing the stage3 archive
UEFI according to : http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/UEFI_Gentoo_Quick_Install_Guide

Question: Do I need anything else for EFI stub (im worried it wont boot) it's a bit unclear. My thought is this should be enough (im not that far in the handbook yet so im guessing i will copy somthing to boot later, but i'm thinking I don't need to install a separate bootloader or something like that? (the unclear bit in the documentation)
Also do I need filesystem support for boot?, coudn't find fat32 in kernel
Code:
kernel options and table
    // filesystem support ext4, fat(win95), vfat
    [*] EFI runtime service support  [*]   EFI stub support [*] Built-in kernel command line (root=/dev/sda2)
 1      1049kB  500MB  499MB  fat32        ESI      boot, esp,   2      500MB   120GB  120GB  ext4         primary

Question: I get an error bulding kernel, this is through SSH i did the chroot locally on my nuc to afraid to to it in the ssh client also. I also have problem emergin/installing packages.
Code:
 root@sysresccd /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux % make modules_install
cp: cannot stat ‘/mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux-3.15.10-hardened-r1/modules.order’: No such file or directory
make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1

root@sysresccd /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux % emerge app-text/wgetpaste
 * IMPORTANT: 2 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.
 * See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge
 * man page to learn how to update config files.
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "app-text/wgetpaste".

Question: I'm not sure if my network will work after building kernel, seems to be some strange dependencies, comments below
lspci http://pastebin.com/C337Pc2e
Code:
/// SPARC32 broken not sure why I would need this as its ancient?, hopefully it will build anyways right?
Symbol: E1000E [=n]
Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && ETHERNET [=y] && NET_VENDOR_INTEL [=y] && PCI [=y] && (!SPARC32 || BROKEN [=n]) 

/// cant find INTEL_MEI_ME selection in kernel, guessing it will be selected if i select watchdog core, do I really need those deps?
Symbol: INTEL_MEI_ME [=n]                 
Depends on: X86 [=y] && PCI [=y] && WATCHDOG_CORE [=n]   
Selects: INTEL_MEI [=n]                     
Symbol: WATCHDOG_CORE [=n] 
Selected by: SENSORS_SCH5627 [=n] && HWMON [=y] && !PPC && WATCHDOG [=y] || SENSORS_SCH5636 [=n] && HWMON [=y] && !PP x

///lpc_ich Isa bridge seems deselected, not sure I need it so was thinking of slipping that one

Got answer in the channel

For the kernel it was a new chroot needed , both emerge and the kernel now builds
hopefully, the broken dependency for the network card will not stop the module, and still unsure about the EFI stub. Will post back if I solve it maybe someone else will have some use for the information.

For the network interface i selected the wrong driver e1000 instead of e1000e
For efi stub, it was correct, booting no problems
