|

Hey guys,
I'm new to gentoo.. Was wondering if anyone has a diagram of gentoo's loading process..
It will help me draw a mental picture. Yes I'm weird that way. I like to picture where and when processes can go wrong..
Thanks _________________ Superiority is achieved through Transparency |

Hey Thanks for the reply...
But I fail to see where this link provides a Diagram of the booting process for gentoo linux...
What I saw in GitHub was a community of programmers that share there codes and ideas combined with I guess GitHub platform...
I'm looking for a PDF of some-sort...

Why not have a look at the log files from your machine booting? |

How do I do that... And will the log files describe at what point a process begins and when it ends..?

You won't find such a diagram as it would be different for every Gentoo machine which is why Ant P. suggested bootchart2 which will create a diagram for your machine.

You can install bootchart2 with Portage:
Once it's installed the man page will tell you what you need to do to get a chart of the boot process. _________________ Search | Read | Answer | Report | Strip |

After reading this post I got curious and installed bootchart2.
Had to add a few things to my kernel config.
Works like a charm.
Still have to figure out what it all means.

The same disk can be used for 32 and 64 bit installs.

Well, it's not exactly what you're looking for, but I noticed the following article (which includes a PDF link) this evening whilst browsing tuxmachines.org:

Just thought I'd mention it in case it is of interest. _________________ Clevo W230SS: amd64, VIDEO_CARDS="intel modesetting nvidia".
