I have 1 controller. I‘ve set it as the boot controller. I‘ve put HDD boot option as my top option in the boot order. Still nothing. Is there maybe something on the grub side that I could‘ve messed up?
It's possible that grub is being installed incorrectly. I don't have much experience with Gentoo, but I do with Linux and system recovery. If the machine is unable to find the bootloader then it's likely not installed correctly.
You can try installing another distribution such as Mint or Ubuntu and see if it boots normally. If it does, then it's indeed a grub installation/configuration problem. If not, then it's a BIOS configuration issue.
Take note that the Gen7 also does not support UEFI, that wasn't until the Gen9. So your partitioning format or set up may also(but rarely) cause problems.
