Unable to boot Sabayon after uefi install


Here is my disk layout:
Code:
GNU Parted 3.2
Using /dev/nvme1n1
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) p                                                                
Model: Unknown (unknown)
Disk /dev/nvme1n1: 250GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags: 

Number  Start   End    Size   File system  Name                  Flags
 1      1049kB  211MB  210MB  fat32        EFI System Partition  boot, esp
 2      211MB   735MB  524MB  ext4
 3      735MB   250GB  249GB                                     lvm
/boot is on partition #2

/root and /home reside on the lvm partition.

I can supply you with anything you need to help me.

As the OP I get through the entire setup but once rebooted I cannot boot Sabayon.
I boot a usb stick that boots uefi without issues.

Any and all help to get this going is most appreciated.

1. Where is the efi partition mounted in your fstab?
2. Was grub used as the bootloader and if so is there a grubx64.efi in a subfolder of EFI on your efi partition?

Here is the fstab from the installed Sabayon:

I've mounted the efi partition and I can see the following:
Code:
sabayon ramdisk # ll /tmp/sabayon_os/
total 1
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 512 Jan  1  1970 .
drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 300 Sep 21 00:50 ..
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 512 Sep 20 02:15 EFI
sabayon ramdisk # ll /tmp/sabayon_os/EFI/
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 512 Sep 20 02:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 512 Jan  1  1970 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Sep 20 02:17 sabayon
sabayon ramdisk # ll /tmp/sabayon_os/EFI/sabayon/
total 122
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    512 Sep 20 02:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root    512 Sep 20 02:15 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    775 Sep 20 02:17 enroll-this.cer
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 122880 Sep 20 02:15 grubx64.efi
Nothing is jumping out at me presently as an issue.

create an EFI/Boot on the efi partition and copy the grubx64.efi to it, if that doesn't work then rename the EFI/Boot/grux64.efi to bootx64.efi

colorpurple21859, Thanks for the insight. This fixed the booting now I have another issue. KDE doesn't start. When I run startx I get 3 white windows that I can click on and exit out of but no KDE. I thought maybe it wasn't installed but that wasn't the case either. I'm at a loss as to why I cannot start KDE. I get dropped directly into the CLI.

I tried looking for the latest version of Sabayon but the web site only has 16.11 which I already have. Do you knowe where I can DL the latest 17.10 iso? Might have something to do with the install want to try a new install using 17 instead of 16.

I don't know much about sabayon, have you looked at your xorg log for errors? Maybe turning off kde compositing will help.

Looks like it might be a display manager. I switched from lightdm to sddm and I can get it to start from the command line just not at boot.
