@likewhoa,
I ran rescuecd memtest for 12 hours:zero errors.
I tried the livedvd again but it still freezes kde.
I mounted the partition containing my /home to /mnt/gentoo.
I wanted to copy .xsession errors to my regular /home directory but I
couldn't return to console.
Had to fsck my /home partition on booting into my regular Gentoo.
Docache doesn't work.
Gerard.

you do not have enough ram for docache as the uncompressed squashfs image is over 8G and you only have 4G of ram. You will have to just do without docache. The final image will be a lot smaller, these images are just for testing and are not final.

@ likewhoa,
Well thanks for telling me now.
If you had told me this before I wouldn't have had to do the memtest!

I've been trying to download the latest snapshot for hours now from:

ftp://mirrors.sfo1.gni.com/Gentoo/ten/

and it just keeps timing out before it reaches 25%, so I have to start from anew everytime ...I've tried using Firefox as well as its DownloadItAll! plugin.

Can anyone suggest a better mirror or a better download manager? Is there a torrent somewhere?

The only changes you would need to do after copying the contents of image.squashfs into your hard drive would be:


  • fdisk /dev/$ROOTDEVICE # Normal gentoo stuff first..
  • mount /dev/$ROOTDEVICE /mnt/gentoo # Mount your / partition, if you have more then mount at will to their correct destination
  • mkdir /tmp/loop # Temp directory for squashfs contents
  • mount -o loop,ro /mnt/cdrom/image.squashfs /tmp/loop # Mounts the contents of the livedvd squashfs image to /tmp/loop
  • rsync -a /tmp/loop/ /mnt/gentoo # Copy squashfs contents to hard drive
  • Grub # Setup your bootloader
  • Kernel Sources "You can use the .config from the dvd or just use genkernel"
  • /etc/fstab
  • /etc/hosts
  • /etc/conf.d/net
  • emerge -C livecd-tools mkxf86config sys-apps/hwsetup
  • /etc/make.conf
  • set root password
  • Light a candle then reboot




Hey all, i'm fairly new to nix, been playing somewhat successfully with gentoo. I tried this and probably cause I don't have a good understanding couldn't get it to work. Could someone post a dummies guide to this?

Of these steps which number did you get errors and can you post / paste them.

1. fdisk /dev/$ROOTDEVICE # Normal gentoo stuff first..
2. mount /dev/$ROOTDEVICE /mnt/gentoo # Mount your / partition, if you have more then mount at will to their correct destination
3. mkdir /tmp/loop # Temp directory for squashfs contents
4. mount -o loop,ro /mnt/cdrom/image.squashfs /tmp/loop # Mounts the contents of the livedvd squashfs image to /tmp/loop
5. rsync -a /tmp/loop/ /mnt/gentoo # Copy squashfs contents to hard drive
6. Grub # Setup your bootloader
7. Kernel Sources "You can use the .config from the dvd or just use genkernel"
8. edit /etc/fstab
9. edit /etc/hosts
10. edit /etc/conf.d/net
11. emerge -C livecd-tools mkxf86config sys-apps/hwsetup
12. edit /etc/make.conf

Hi everyone, I am putting together a FAQ. Looking for errors, suggestions, comments.

OK, I somehow managed to get that 20091003-r3 snapshot ...I saw your post only after that :\

Problems that I encountered are:

  • xorg-video-intel repeatedly reported an error with DRI and composite blinked so hard, that I had to turn it off in KDE to see anything at all. I'll post the details when I get hold on an "official" testing snapshot and find time to play more.
  • Wicd doesn't support RFKILL yet (AFAIK) and therefore I was unable to get my wireless up. Although I like Wicd a lot more, until it gets support for the newer drivers (because of RFKILL), I think including NetworkManager is a must.


Otherwise it seems like quite a huge beast ...I kinda like it :]

It wasn't so much errors than complete confusion, also is there supposed to be a chroot in here somewhere?

Here's what i did:

1. Fdisk :
SDA1 boot ext2
SDA2 swap
SDA3 / ext4
2. Mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
(do I need to mount /proc, /boot /dev)? I didn't
3. as written
4. as written
5. as written but when it completed I was left with a dir called loop in mnt/gentoo. Inside it was all the files and dirs (etc, usr, dev etc...) I don't think this was right, is it?

6. Grub: root(hd0,0) then setup (hd0)
7. Got lost here... so I honestly didn't do anything
8. Not sure if this is different from the handbook so I just used what the handbook had (with the correct file systems)...
9 and 10 as written
11. I ran it but didn't save the error and i'm not home at the moment.
12 and 13 done...
14. The candle blew out :) all I was left with was a grub shell and dead in the water...

The FAQ misses a link to the ISOs :)

Anyway: Looks nice!

I downloaded the .iso for the anniversary test release of Gentoo 10.0, burned it to DVD and ran the live DVD. Everything seemed ok, but when it got to the desktop, this release of Gentoo would not work with my Logitech wireless keyboard and Logitech wireless mouse. They were not recognized at all. I could not type anything or move the pointer with the mouse. The only way I cour shut down my system is by a hard shutdown with the button on the computer. My system is a Gateway 5420 desktop with 1.8GHZ Core 2 duo processor, 6GB of RAM, Intel 985G chipset. Is there a fix for this issue with the wireless keyboard and mouse?

Does the LiveCD work with Open Firmware like the one from the OLPC?

Final iso should have a working wireless setup.
