No; I did compose and type the command myself. I'll come back with answers to your other points soon.

F2 does not work with bhyve. It's straight into UEFI.

I haven't tried map because it's pretty obvious what the problem is. The command efibootmgr -c -d /dev/vda -p 1 -L "Gentoo 6.1.1 EFI" -l '\EFI\Gentoo\linuz-6.1.1.efi' -u 'root=UUID=d5d0fe72-73a5-4b6f-ab98-236b80b4098b' inserts the partition UUID ...

64-bit EFI handoff entry point

That has to be significant. Why does my kernel not have that? I ask myself.

[Later] tried a make clean && make -s but my file output is unchanged.

mounty1

Does this(boot PXE) mean you don't have a way to choose which entry to boot? Yes, it does. I do not have a choice, such as a menu of possible boot options. Normally I'd expect to have to press a key (e.g., on my Thinkpad laptops it's F12) to get a menu.
EFI will skip/ignore entries when it is not ...

I already listed (ls -lR) the entire ESP, including EFI/Gentoo/linuz-6.1.1.efi so yes.

Hmm ... what do you mean with "VM does not find the kernel"? Maybe the VM loads the kernel and you just dont see anything because of a missing console? Maybe you have a invisible kernel panic? By the time I can open the console (i.e., start the VNC viewer) the VM (bhyve supervisor) is trying to ...

pietinger wrote:Do you have a kernel WITH an initramfs or WITHOUT? I ask because the kernel does not understand "root=UUID=... ".

without, but as the VM does not find or attempt to boot the Gentoo kernel, this is irrelevant. Obtaining a kernel panic would be progress.

mounty1

Please share your kernel .config on a pastebin.
With a missing initrd, you should at least get a kernel panic message. That you don't suggests it a console configuration error.
I did. No initrd but as the VM does not find or attempt to boot the kernel, this is irrelevant.

How do you get the ...

I'm trying to build a Gentoo guest of a bhyve instance under OmniOS (Illumos / Solaris) but cannot boot the kernel despite following the instructions to build an EFI stub . In particular, in the config , EFI stub support is selected.

I believe that the bhyve environment implements UEFI boot ...

That comment about the test by Microsoft seems wrong to me. OP seems to be asking about a Gentoo Portage safety check, not something from the upstream project..
It was a flippant remark referencing Microsoft's predilection for building 'smarts' into their 'products' which cause more problems than ...

Thank you. This is the key.

In /var/tmp/portage/www-client/chromium-blahversion/temp/environment, add

declare CHECKREQS_DONOTHING="1"

and the ebuild proceeds.

mounty1

It's well known that you can use I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING=1 to stop emerge from performing checks.

emerge is a front-end for ebuild .

How do you prevent ebuild whateverthepackage.ebuild compile from performing the checks? I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING=1 doesn't do it. I.e., how does emerge invoke ebuild ...

I set the screen-saver to one minute and stood back. After one minute my session logged-out. Anyone else seeing this?

mounty1

Thanks everyone for the ideas. My shared-portage system extends to NFS-mounted /etc/portage and /var/db/pkg on all machines, so I could write my own script, like wjb, to perform the clean-up. I just didn't know, until yesterday, that I ought to do so.

Instead of find distfiles/ -mtime +354 | xargs rm ... I'd use eclean-dist . Pass --help first to see the options or read the man page of eclean .
However I'm not certain if it cleans subdirectories like git3-src for example.
I will do in future but tools such as eclean-dist are imperfect in my ...

I wanted to reduce the size of my system as the backup was taking longer each week so: # find distfiles/ -mtime +354 | xargs rm Now in the old days of portage by rsync, that was OK because distfiles/ was just all the packages you had ever downloaded but now the command echoes stuff like rm ...
