And Gentoo won't boot. I've tried the Gentoo Handbook's method with grub 2, and I've tried [url="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/UEFI_Dual_boot_with_Windows_7/8"]the wiki's method using refind[/url] to no avail. Both lead to booting windows in UEFI mode and a kernel panic in legacy BIOS mode. Even after installing refind, in legacy mode it goes to a grub menu (followed by kernel panic), as if refind doesn't exist. Can someone help?[/url]

can you post a picture of the panic?
what install media did you use? when the install media was booted were you in efi mode?
How did you make the kernel? genkernel or manual? boot the installcd/usb, mount the gentoo partitions, run
Code:
 wgetpaste /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config
lspci -k | wgetpaste
wgetpaste /proc/cpuinfo
post the url's returned

refind requires efi mode at boot time not legacy bios mode.

Was windows installed in uefi mode?

guessing -- windows is installed on one disk in uefi mode
gentoo is installed on another disk in legacy bios mode with grub 2 installed to the MBR of the second disk
the plan is to boot to "BIOS" and select uefi or legacy to select which os would boot?

I used the minimal install, booted in legacy bios mode; I can't get into anything but windows in uefi.

.config is at http://bpaste.net/show/429141/
lspci at http://bpaste.net/show/429147/
proc/cpuinfo is at http://bpaste.net/show/429148/

The computer came out of the box with windows installed in uefi mode. In uefi mode, even now, with refind supposedly installed, the computer doesn't seem to know refind is there; it just boots into windows.

It's a laptop with only one disk.
The plan was nowhere near so well thought out. I bought a new computer, noticed that since the last time I installed gentoo something called uefi was invented, and thought I could somehow make a selection menu like I had on my previous computer with bios and grub legacy.

in spite of the various complications introduced by uefi and windows you appear to have the very common problem of not having drivers configured in the kernel for the hard drive.

boot the minimal install cd, mount the gentoo partitions, enter the chroot, nominally (guessing your partitions)
Code:
[mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/gentoo/boot
cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
then
Code:
cd /usr/src/linux;make menuconfig
edit menuconfig to include

recompile and recopy the kernel, make a graceful exit:
Code:
exit
cd
umount -l /mnt/gentoo/dev{/shm,/pts,}
umount -l /mnt/gentoo{/boot,/proc,}
reboot
based on evidence to date you should then be able to boot windows in uefi and gentoo in legacy bios mode.
