[SOLVED] Failed to install gentoo-kernel-bin during install

Message

Hello,
I have problems on my Gentoo install near the initramfs part. I wanted to try out zfs for the first time on this install, so I think the error likely has something to do with that.
Here is the output of

It looks like it may be an issue with your uefi-mkconfig config:

* Updating UEFI configuration...
* Running uefi-mkconfig...
* lsblk can't see PARTTYPE!
* For more information please refer to https://github.com/Biosias/uefi-mkconfig
* uefi-mkconfig failed

* The kernel was not deployed successfully. Inspect the failure

* run the equivalent of the following command to try again:

Yes I think so, please what should I do?

Have a look at troubleshooting section of readme https://github.com/Biosias/uefi-mkconfig.

1. chroot problems
Sometimes when running uefi-mkconfig from within a chroot, lsblk can cause problems resulting in uefi-mkconfig to not work. (For example when installing Gentoo Linux.) If this happens, make sure that /run is mounted correctly into the chroot. If the problem persits even after mounting /run, exit the chroot, copy configuration from rootfs of the system being installed to the mount point of the LiveCD and run uefi-mkconfig again outside of the chroot. Be sure to have the EFI partition mounted.

It's literally what it tells you to do, BTW.

See the previous reply by Kaidezee. Your chroot'ing is not correct/complete and therefore lsblk cannot see all information required to make uefi-mkconfig work.

You are right, my mistake was using arch-chroot instead of classic chroot, thank you very much. But now I've run into another problem: at the end of the ZFS/rootfs guide, I tried exporting the pool, but no matter what I try, it outputs this:

Code: Select all

cannot export 'tank': pool is busy

Code: Select all

mount -t zfs

does not return anything, so it does not look like it's even mounted. Please what do I do now? After restarting from this point, I could not boot correctly (and had to redo the installation up to this point), so I suppose this step is critical.

Code: Select all

lsof | grep tank

returns

Code: Select all

lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.portal file system /run/user/1000/doc
      Output information may be incomplete.
