 Posted: Mon May 02, 2016 11:49 pm Post subject: Are there any errors in my Gentoo installation command list? |
 |
|
Hello gentoomen, I am transitioning from Arch to Gentoo on my new rig and with the combination of systemd and LVM, and being my first time, I knew this would get confusing so I spent some time trying to plan it out.
Now I ask of you to peer review it and help me ascend on my glorious journey, if you see any errors/mistakes and any suggestions or recommendations are welcome. Thank you.

Grub2 is a boot manager and a bootloader.
rEFInd is a boot manager only.
running rEFInd to run grub2 is a feasible redundancy.
IMHO using rEFInd to select an efi stub kernel bootloader is preferable as a lower maintenance option.

ArtificialAmateur,
Follow the handbook until your own Gentoo will boot.
Now switch to systemd. Do check it still boots and that systemd is in use.
From there, the world is your oyster but adopt the approch of building on what you know works, so that when, not if, if breaks. you know what broke it.
Narrowing the problem field makes it much simpler to help you fix it.
