sup. I failed to get an irc bouncer again, so it's gonna look like I died again in a sec.

you can always just look at the irc log if you wanna get up to speed

I've been trying to install kiss but I keep getting stuck at the loading linux screen
<thikkl>
I've enabled all the framebuffer drivers I could find and it hasn't done anything. Funny part is that if I boot from BIOS the kernel seems to load and do stuff.

what you mean you have to re-install it each time? either its installed, or its not. do you mount /boot properly when you do? if you have a separate /boot that is

I have to run grub-install and grub-mkconfig over again
<thikkl>
Otherwise my drive doesn't show up in the UEFI boot menu

cant you add it manually? I do that. but I also dont use grub. I just use efistub, so the kernel acts as the bootloader instead. I find that this is much simpler and more foolproof

no need for grub this way atleast, if you wanna bypass the need for grub. not the most practical solution if you dualboot though

gentoo has a page about it if you wanna test that instead

iirc, it basically boils down to enabling CONFIG_EFISTUB in kernel config. and then just copy the bzImage to /boot but with a .efi extension. so that your uefi can recognize it. youd have to add it manually inside your uefi settings though

oh, and you also have to specify root in the kerenl command line. you can use PARTUUID, but just doing root=/dev/sda3 is also fine
