Thanks, I've been looking at that page. What does your partition table look
like? My EFI boot partition ended up as only 2 MiB (since I followed the
Gentoo install handbook), and according to what I'm reading an EFI
partition should be between 100-300 MiB. By default grub installs the x64
efi and it didn't complain about lack of space. It only dropped one file in
that partition, which was about about 180 kB. I'd like to avoid
repartitioning and starting from scratch if possible but at least I've
saved the kernel config, which is what has taken me the longest so far.
