I had to install the Genkernel Gentoo kernel to load the NVIDIA video card drivers by customizing the refind with the Gen's entry on the second partition (Arch Linux is installed first)
After reading the refind does not accept these input "Kernel" as loader (only BzImage, vmlinux) has to read the intramfs to load the drives.
When customizing with the following input it is not possible to boot by Gentoo
| Code: | menuentry "Arch" {
icon \EFI\BOOT\icons\os_arch.png
volume Arch
ostype Linux
loader /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options "root=/dev/sdc3 rw"
}
menuentry "Gentoo" {
icon \EFI\BOOT\icons\os_gentoo.png
volume Gentoo
ostype Linux
loader kernel-genkernel-x86_64-4.9.16-gentoo
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-4.9.16-gentoo
options "root=/dev/sdc6 rw"
} |
Does anyone have any idea how I can do to leave the custom refind with the gentoo entry working.

Well, unless you to use Plymouth or something like that, you don't need the module to be available when the kernel starts, you can load if afterwards.
I currently use refind and Nvidia drivers with no initramfs. |

Hi Saboya
Can you give me the hint of how I can compile the kernel manually without the need to load the driver without the initramfs
I use the manufacturer's NVIDIA drive
How can I use Plymouth? |

You need a kernel with EFI stub:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/EFI_stub_kernel
Then just emerge the Nvidia driver as you would, it will be loaded automatically after the kernel initializes. |

Working after reinstall gentooo 
You could submit a custom gentoo example entry for refind.
Thanks by help |
