Hi guys,

I hope you are able to help me out. I try to dual-boot Windows 10 and Gentoo from a NVMe SSD. The SSD uses a GPT partition layout, boot mode is set to UEFI only, secure boot is disabled. Windows 10 was installed first, Gentoo afterwards. Gentoo only uses two partitions: / and /home, so no swap and no separate boot partition. Both partitions are formatted as ext4. I installed rEFInd from Windows (according to the instructions found here: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html#windows). Gentoo has been installed according to the instructions found here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/UEFI_Dual_boot_with_Windows_7/8, so all the required kernel options should be included. rEFInd is detected as the EFI boot loader, it shows entries for both Windows and gentoo - so far so good.

Windows 10 boots like a charm, but whenever I attemt to boot Gentoo the EFI screen changes to the command-line. I see rEFInd attemting to boot my kernel, even the PARTUUID is auto-detected correctly - great! But then it just hangs there, no input whatsoever is accepted and I have to power off my PC. Right now I'm stumped, so if any of you guys have an idea - let it be heard :-)
