Start
This project was a real rocky start. I was having a hard time booting off the USB and more trouble with a USB keyboard attached. However, when I could get the unit to boot, the chroot worked and I could compile. I was to the point think the unit was bad, so I stopped the install and started checking the problem by removing external hardware from the board. I was down to the RAM sticks, so I reseated both sticks, but as much compiling I had done on the unit, I would have expected a RAM issue show during heavy compiling.
As a last effort, that should have been an earlier effort, I updated the BIOS/UEFI. The unit had a 10/15/2019, version 1510. I had the same problem with the Asrock board, until I updated the firmware, it did not play nice. Now the unit shows the SATA drive as a possible boot option in the UEFI shell.
No way I am going over the install of Gentoo, but here are a couple references:
However, I can throw up a couple tips from years of installing Gentoo.
My Gentoo Install Tips
- Use the Minimal Install CD Not sure if there is a LiveDVD, but use the current minimal because it is updated. Download the iso and burn it to a USB.
- Connect the system you are installing to via ethernet cable. After booting with the above USB, do the following:
| 1. use passwd to give the install system a root password |
| 2. edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to PasswordAuthentication yes (default is no) and PermitRootLogin yes (default is commented out and prohibit-password). Save the file. |
| 3. run /etc/init.d/ sshd start |
| 4. do ‘ip a’ to get the install machine’s IP address |
| 5. now you should be able to ssh and do the install from your main system. |
- Once the install USB loads and I can ssh into the system, it is the drive configuration. I do that in next post, but for reference I ‘mkdir /xxx’ on the running install system and mount all my partitions. Then I run the script below which is in the root of all my Gentoo systems. With that done, all that is left is a ‘chroot /xxx /bin/bash’ and then ‘source /etc/profile’
#!/bin/bash
mount --types proc /proc /xxx/proc
mount --rbind /sys /xxx/sys
mount --make-rslave /xxx/sys
mount --rbind /dev /xxx/dev
mount --make-rslave /xxx/dev
