Hi, I have this little problem that my system can't output any text (or anything, really) on the screen after boot; the only thing that is being displayed is Deck's logo.
I boot with EFI stub (no initramfs, if that matters), followed this guide https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pieti ... ent_Kernel and this is .config I got (with some tweaks):

Let me know if I missed something I should have included here.

Update; things seem to work with GRUB instead of EFI stub.
That's not exactly what I want though.

Update 2; I got EFI stub working by enabling use of dracut on installkernel and specifying uefi="yes" in /etc/dracut.conf.
