Do not ask why, but I love building Gentoo!!! It just works on a lot of different hardware!!!
I do not use GPT a lot but I have other plans for Gentoo!!!
I would not say that I loved building Gentoo, but it was a great learning curve and I ended up with a working Linux that ran like greased lightening and supported every package I wanted.
And with my old hardware, Gentoo is the next best thing, except for Windows, which is another story!!!
This is in the Acer Mini PC?
I do not use GPT a lot
Why not? It makes grub simpler when you have an EFI partition.
Or are you legacy booting?
I would use UEFI boot wherever possible.
UEFI just complicates, especially with LFS, with more packages to compile!!!
Especially with Win10 support ending. Now, they have updated their ESU options:
- Upload ALL of your data to MS servers
- Switch to Bing to earn pointa and use them (don’t ask why, but for some reason I have over 13500 in my account)
- Or pay them 61 USD
One option they don’t mention is witch to Linux… and they also promote buy a new Trashpilot PC… with the propertiary nonsense OS Windows 11.
That is not a viable option, not many distros will run my old hardware, except for Gentoo!!!
Can be bypassed if cpu supports popcnt and sse4 1 and 2!!
I now have the LFS base booting with Gentoo grub!!! Now where!!! I guess I will start with “wget” and then “openssh”!!!
Can LFS support grub and boot itself?.. might be inconvenient if it were unstable
It can but I rather have Gentoo controlling grub!!
I’m stuck on kernel compiling… somI’m ising LFS in a chroot currently.
What is the issue!!!
The whole time. make mrproper make defconfig make menuconfig. And make makefile error 2 init something not defined… have untarred and rerun 5 times nkw…
I just untar the Linux kernel cd and run “make mrproper” and “make menuconfig” set my configs, save and run “make” and “make modules_install”. If you have a separate /boot, make sure it is mounted, if not then cp the vmlinuz, map and config files!!!
If you have a successul kernel compile, then leave the tar file open, you will do more than one kernel config in BLFS, and you will not have to run “make mrproper” again!!!
I finally got make-ca and NSS and my certs installed so I now can use wget in LFS!!!
Ok did that and now complains about boot vmlinuz not found… please help..
Cool!!!
Fixed that now vfs error on grub..
Your kernel config creates the vmlinuz file!!!
Kernel cannot find either your /boot or find or mount your / partition!!
