Installing
Installation to an external usb-disk (dev/sda1) in this example. Allocate at least 8G for partition sda1. Log in to an existing linux in Cubieboard2, if you have keyboard and monitor connected. Otherwise log in via Windows/putty or linux/ssh. In my case, running Linux is aruntu 3.4.101-sun7i+ http://cubiuntu.com/downloads/. Following text is not applicable for other linux versions.
Create and fill filesystem..
chroot..
| Code: | mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash |
replacing an invalid link
| Code: | rm /dev/shm
mkdir /dev/shm |
emerge..
| Code: | emerge-webrsync (takes a very long time)
eselect news read
emerge --sync |
Configure..
| Code: | nano -w /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen
eselect locale list
eselect locale set en_US.utf8
env-update && source /etc/profile
eselect profile list
eselect profile set default/linux/arm/13.0/armv7a/desktop
echo "Europe/Stockholm" > /etc/timezone
nano -w /etc/conf.d/keymaps
nano -w /etc/conf.d/hwclock
emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data
cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.eth0
rc-update add net.eth0 default
echo 'FEATURES="${FEATURES} nodoc noinfo"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf
echo 'USE="bindist libkms symlink -test"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf
echo 'MAKEOPTS="-j3"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf
emerge -v gpm
rc-config add gpm
rc-config add sshd |
set root's password! Do not forget this step..
Now is it time to leave chroot-environment:
| Code: | exit
umount /mnt/gentoo/dev
umount /mnt/gentoo/sys (failed)
umount /mnt/gentoo/proc |
We have no gentoo-kernel yet, but we can reboot using existing kernel. But first we need to copy modules. And change a config file.
| Code: | cp -avi /lib/modules /mnt/gentoo/lib
cp /uEnv.cb2 /uEnv.cb2-aruntu (keep original) |
change two lines: | Code: | nano -w /uEnv.cb2
#root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rootfstype=ext4
root=/dev/sda1 rootwait rootfstype=ext3
cp /uEnv.cb2 /uEnv.cb2-gentoo (keep a copy) |
reboot and login to new gentoo
