I used Ghost4Linux before, although it was years ago before I ever
touched a UEFI system.

I think that if you are required to run some kernel provided by a
project, then they need to provide a kernel that works with the
initial ramdisk, and that includes kernel modules needed to load
network devices and storage systems.

If the Ghost4Linux project doesn't have a UEFI-capable boot image,
then building some random kernel isn't going to help you.  You need
the kernel that is the exact same version as the kmods in the initrd
that loads g4l.  You could probably just any UEFI-capable boot image
and just move the kernel and initrd into there, but it still won't be
able to be used on a Secure Boot system because the kernel isn't
signed.
