Conrad Gentoo Projects Presents...
NOW SUPPORTS 64-BIT!
CONRAD Install Guide 1.5.0 - Named: "Revolution"
THIS IS THE 4.0.3 VERSION!
For the CONRAD 1.0-1.5 UPGRADE GUIDE SEE SECTION B1 AT THE BOTTOM
-----
GCC 4.0.3
GCC 4.0.3 is planned to come AFTER GCC-4.1 is released, shortly after. This guide uses a CVS Overlay ebuild in an attempt to use a pre-release of GCC 4.0.3. It offers high performance, though it is unsupported, it works pretty well, and if you try this guide, hopefully it works well for you too! 
-Cheater

Conrad Install Guide Dev. Edition
If you are willing to test gcc 4.1 beta releases, binutils-2.16.91* with -Bdirect support, and future releases of Glibc-2.3.90*, check out the Conrad Install Guide Dev. Edition
Warning: THIS GUIDE IS EXPERIMENTAL, THE DEV GUIDE IS VERY EXPERIMENTAL AND USES A LOT OF OVERLAYS, It is assumed you have a fair amount of gentoo knowledge before continuing
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-429276.html

UPDATES
2/05/06 - Changed kernel to 2.6.15-no3, made it use nicksched cpu schedular by default
2/04/06 - Upgraded snapshot to latest (20060202) - and added a new patch
1/30/06 - Edited AMD64 Final make.conf, should fix the problems.
1/29/06 - Changed kernel to No-Sources-2.6.15-r2
1/29/06 - Fixed GCC Overlay (bad patch)
1/28/06 - Updated overlay to latest GCC 4.0 Snapshot
-----
Forewarning
This IS an advanced install guide for gentoo linux, it is assuming you have knowledge of gentoo and gnu/linux in general!
-----
The most hardcore and up-to-date of its kind!
One of a kind custom gcc 4.0.3 overlay!
Easier than you make think!

FAQ
(Q) This is insane, it is so unstable, a system would never run like this!
(A) Well, it is a little intense, but for reasons, the intensity is stable enough for 98% of users - There are only very few packages that are known to break, qemu is the only one I personally know of. The result is a system faster than all others, even though it may take long to get there.
(Q) Isn't reiser4 the most unstable filesystem? Will I lose all my files?
(A) Reiser4 is probally the most unstable filesystem, besides windows :-p, because it is the newest. Is it unstable in general? No it is completely usable and friendly. A few releases ago you may have lost your files, but it is in a much more stable state right now.
(Q) How do I submit bug reports including unsupported testing items, related problems to bugs.gentoo.org?
(A) You can not post the bug, UNLESS you include a patch, then it is perfectly acceptable, submit bugs to upstream developers rather than to gentoo.

Get Ready...
-----
Getting Started
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK...
------
Continue until you get to the 3 options
------
1 - The LiveCD
1.1 - First of all, we are going to download the LATEST Conrad Gentoo Installation LiveCD - This is required for reiser4 installation
REISER4 IS NOT REQUIRED! If you do not want to use reiser4, you can use this livecd, or the Gentoo liveCD

1.2 - Burn it to a CD and boot it - Then choose the boot option for your needs
2 -Preparing the Network
2 - Make sure the network is working properly - Accomplish this my doing "ping google.com" or "ifconfig" in order to test the internet connection, if it is not working by default, try...
Or if you simply run by dhcp
3 - Hard disk configuration
3.1 - View the hard disk configuration
| Code: |
# hdparm -i /dev/hda
|
3.2 - Test the Hard Disk's speed
| Code: | | hdparm -tT /dev/hda |
3.3 - Get the maximum from your hard disk - OPTIONAL
I ONLY Reccomend this option for ATA133 hard drives, not anything lower.
| Code: |
(ide ata133 drives only)
hdparm -d1 -c1 -X69 /dev/hda
(ide ata100 or lower drives)
hdparm -d1 -c1 /dev/hda |
4 - Partitioning the Drive
4.1 Using Fdisk
| Code: | # fdisk /dev/hda
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 2184 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 14 158760 83 Linux # boot
/dev/hda2 15 49 264600 82 Linux swap # swap
/dev/hda3 50 70 remainder 83 Linux # root
|
4.2 - Setup your partition scheme
| Code: | Something like this
Partition File System ID Size Description
/dev/hda1 ext2 83 100 MB Boot partition
/dev/hda2 (swap) 82 512 MB Swap partition
/dev/hda3 Reiser4 83 Remainder Root Partition |
When done, hit "w" in fdisk to write the changes
4.3 - Creating your partitons - Reiser4/reiserfs/ext3 for root, ext2/ext3 for boot, swap for swap
| Code: | # mkfs.reiser4 /dev/hda3
# mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda1
# mkswap /dev/hda2
# swapon /dev/hda2
|
4.4 - Mounting your hard drives
| Code: | # mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/proc && mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot |
5 - Setting up for a chroot
5.1 - Downloading and extracting a stage3 tarball
| Code: | # cd /mnt/gentoo
(x86 users choose and download your architecture here)

8.2 - (OPTIONAL) Setting locales.build
You have to set this according to your region/area/language
This is completely optional, it just saves build time
| Code: | | # nano /etc/locales.build |
8.3 - Building the toolkit
| Code: |
# emerge portage
# emerge metadata
# emerge gcc-config mpfr glibc binutils gcc libstdc++-v3 libtool portage |

(should be similar to this)
# binutils-config 2
# emerge -aP binutils
# env-update; source /etc/profile |
8.6 - Changing the make.conf
Edit the make.conf to look like the following... (change CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and USE FLAGS)
NOTE: IN THE LDFLAGS, -Wl is a "L" as in "Lucky" not a "1" or an "I"
| Code: |

8.7 - Rebuilding the toolkit
| Code: | | # emerge glibc binutils libstdc++-v3 gcc libtool portage |
8.8 - Rebuilding the System
(I ONLY Reccomend this once!)
| Code: |
# emerge sync
# emerge --emptytree system |
9 Configuring the kernel
9.1 - No-Sources
Why use no-sources? It is my patchset I now maintain, which means it has all I feel is required and helpful (no staircase, but a lot of mm patches, reiser4, fbsplash, vesafb-tng, power management fixes, suspend2,squashfs,unionfs, and much more, including a home made cleaner /dev patch, to make the system possibly faster, and have a cleaner /dev)
9.2 - Emerging No-Sources
(NOTE: Depending on which kernel you chose, substitute as necessary)
| Code: | # wget http://no.oldos.org/files/2.6.15-no3/no-sources-2.6.15-r3.ebuild
# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/no-sources
# mv no-sources-2.6.15-r3.ebuild /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/no-sources
# ebuild /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/no-sources/no-sources-2.6.15-r3.ebuild digest
# emerge no-sources |
9.4 - Configuring and Compiling the kernel
-----
I can only help you out so much, what I can do is tell you how to get started, and what is required...

9.5 - Emerging Grub
| Code: | (make sure the /boot partition is mounted)
# emerge grub |
The Conrad guide no longer supports installing on a root partition - it works fine on any other filesystem, but reiser4 and grub can cause serious problems, 99% of the time it will only boot to a grub CMDLINE
Windows users, your partition layout could look like this, 1-windows,2-swap,3-root,4-boot
9.6 - Compiling the Kernel
| Code: | | # make && make modules_install && make install |
10 - Emerging additional system files
10.1 Emerging necessary programs
| Code: |
# emerge syslog-ng reiser4progs reiserfsprogs e2fsprogs sysfsutils dhcpcd hotplug coldplug gentoolkit acpid
|
10.2 Adding the programs to the default runlevel
| Code: | # rc-update add syslog-ng default
# rc-update add net.eth0 default
# rc-update add coldplug default
# rc-update add acpid default |
11 - Setting up the framebuffer splash
If you followed the kernel compile options, you should have everything required
11.1 - Emerging splashutils and a few themes
| Code: | # emerge splashutils
# emerge splash-themes-gentoo
(or if you want bootsplash themes...)
# emerge --nodeps --oneshot bootsplash-themes
(splashutils converts them into gensplash themes*)
# rc-update add splash boot |
11.2 - Generating an initramfs (initrd) image
| Code: | # cd /etc/splash
# splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash-gentoo -r 1024x768 gentoo
|
12 - Setting up grub
12.1 - The CONRAD Custom Grub Splash
Brand new Conrad Grub Splash, will be seen on the next conrad livecd (unless it uses isolinux, it's in debate)
This custom splashimage is not totally conrad-based, it still states gentoo linux at the top in big bold letters
| Code: | Preview: http://www.bfgraphics.net/conrad/conrad-grub.png
Download:
http://bfgraphics.net/conrad/0.5.0/grub/conrad.xpm.gz |
12.2 - Grub.conf
| Code: |
Boot partition...
default 0
timeout 30 # amount of time (seconds) before grub boots the selected option
splashimage (hd0,0)/grub/conrad.xpm.gz
# alternitively, you can use splash.xpm.gz, which comes with the ebuild of grub
title=Conrad-Gentoo
root (hd0,0) # boot partition
# FOR CPUSCHED, YOU CAN CHOOSE (ingosched,nicksched, staircase, spa_no_frills, spa_ws, spa_svr, spa_ebs or zaphod)
# DEFAULT Is ingosched, I will use nicksched here
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-no3 cpusched=nicksched root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:1024x768-16@84,mtrr,ywrap splash=silent,fadein,theme:gentoo quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-gentoo
title=Windoze (if existent)
rootnoverify (hd0,3)
makeactive
chainloader +1
|
12.3 - Running grub to install grub
Note: GRUB will only install on reiser4 partitions if you installed it the reiser4 way
| Code: |
# grub
<grub:> root (hd0,0) # boot partition
# boot partiton
<grub:> setup (hd0)
<grub:> quit
|
13 - Configuring your system
13.1 - Editing configuration files
| Code: | # nano /etc/conf.d/hdparm
Add the following (OPTIONAL)
# ATA133 DRIVES ONLY!
hda_args="-d1 -X69 -c1"
# ALL OTHER ATA DRIVES
hda_args="-d1 -c1"
# CDROM DMA
cdrom0_args="-d1" |
13.2 - Set your hostname and domainname
| Code: | # nano /etc/conf.d/hostname
(Set your hostname)
HOSTNAME="conrad-gentoo"
# nano /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
..change to..
127.0.0.1 conrad-gentoo
# ^ = your hostname
|
| Code: | # nano /etc/conf.d/domainname
# DNSDOMAIN="gentoo.org"
# NISDOMAIN=""
- If you don't know what a nisdomain is, leave it blank |
Editing the /etc/conf.d/net
(Not necessary for dhcp users as of 2005.1)
| Code: | # nano /etc/conf.d/net
For possible lines, visit the Configuring the Network section in the Gentoo Handbook Here
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8#doc_chap2 |
13.3 - Configuring FSTAB
| Code: | # nano /etc/fstab
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,notail 1 2
/dev/hda3 / reiser4 notail,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0 |
13.4 - Setting up users
First set the root password
| Code: | # passwd
<enter new password>
<confirm new password>
|
Then set up a user
| Code: | # useradd -m -G users,wheel conrad
# passwd conrad
<set conrads password |
14 - Rebooting and Booting!
14.1 - Rebooting And Unmounting
| Code: | # umount /boot
# umount /proc
# exit
# umount /mnt/gentoo
# reboot |
14.2 - Booting the system
Find yourself at a grub menu, and boot into your system
If you get a kernel panic then check to make sure you configured everything properly
15 - Other Configuration
15.1 - Looking at the possible use variables
| Code: | | # nano /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc |
There are tons of user variables, by x86 the following are used by default
| Code: | USE="x86 oss apm arts avi berkdb crypt cups encode foomaticdb gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde gnome libg++
libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib png python qt quicktime readline sdl
slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype X xml2 xmms xv zlib indent" |
15.2 - Setting USE Flags
There are tons of use flags to choose from, personally, I like a gnome/gtk/opengl/nvidia system, here is how I will set my use flags
| Code: | | # nano /etc/make.conf |
USE="nptl alsa X gtk gnome -qt -kde -arts win32codecs nvidia opengl"[/code]
15.3 - Deleting the 'netmount' service if it is unneeded
Most people don't need this, it will fail to start in most cases
| Code: | | # rc-update del netmount |
For more In-Depth configuration information, consult the Gentoo Handbook
16 - Installing Xorg-X11 and a graphical environment
16.1 - Emerging Xorg
16.2 - Getting an xorg.conf setup
This config *SHOULD* work on most systems
| Code: | # emerge mkxf86config
# mkxf86config.sh |
16.3 - Installing GNOME or KDE
For Gnome...
| Code: | # emerge gnome gdm
(light)
# emerge gnome-light gdm |
For KDE
| Code: |
(monolithic)
# emerge kde gdm

For more information you may want to visit the Gentoo Linux Alsa Guide...
Gentoo Alsa Guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
17.1 - Emerging alsa-utils
| Code: | | # emerge alsa-utils |
17.2 - Running alsaconf
Since alsa 0.9 (i believe) there has been an excellent configurator script included for ALSA
17.3 - Editing Additional Files
| Code: | # nano /etc/modules.d/alsa
<Find near the botton snd-***, and sound-***>
change *** to your sound card name, for example...
snd-intel8x0 sound-intel8x0
snd-emu10k1 sound-emu10k1 |
17.4 - Running ALSAMIXER
You should run alsamixer to adjust the levels of your card, and make sure it is all unmuted, you can press 'M' to unmute/mute the card, by default, alsaconf should unmute all or most, depending on setup, of the things required.
17.5 - Adding alsasound to the default runlevel
| Code: | | # rc-update add alsasound default |
Now alsa should be successfully configured, and configured right - Additional tools you may use could be, alsamixer, amixer, etc
18 - Keeping your system up-to-date
18.2 - Updating the world
First of all always keep the sync up-to-date, a emerge sync once a day atleast is reccomended
TO update all the packages, run

Well this brings us to our end, I hope you the best of luck.
Now your system should be on the edge in speed and it should be the most up-to-date system once installed.
Your system (hopefully) Now includes...
* Reiser4 Filesystem (possibly)
* GCC 4.0 based system
* The LATEST Packages portage has to offer
* The speed of a military jet x 3
* A very nice boot-up splash with a progress bar

I am building nxsty's new glibc overlay. The 2.3.90 version contains the -Bdirect patch again so if you do use it, it should work.
Edit: Upon checking the explanations for your new cflags (-frename-registers) it appears that one of them might not be recommended.
-frename-registers: Not enabled by default at any level because it has known bugs.
Have you tested it at all? Anyways I also recommend adding a part to run alsamixer so that people don't wonder later why sound is muted. (I didn't see it but maybe it is there.)
Overall this is a huge improvement to your older version. I like how you removed all the different LSANE PSANE etc options. |

Thankyou for the feedback.
-frename-registers = tested by me, just as stable as the old Lsane Option, except I found this guide to be a bit faster when the result is produced.
I built gnome, xfce4, and kde for testing if it, I also built things like, firefox, thunderbird, openoffice, gaim, mplayer, xmms, bmpx, xchat, etc, for testing purposes.
I would say I have 500+ packages installed and the only one that failed was sox, due to the nitro kernel 
I will add alsamixer to check levels of sound

| Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 5:01 pm Post subject: Reiser4 slow? |
|
|
Hi,
I installed according to this guide on my amd64 notebook. All fine so far, but I've made the root filesystem Reiser4. Works but I find it very slow:
| Code: | # hdparm -tT /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing cached reads: 1048 MB in 2.00 seconds = 523.03 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 4 Mb in 3.84 seconds = 1.04 MB/sec |
I tested with gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 and with nitro-sources-2.6.15-r3, but both show the same slowness...
Does anybody have an idea? I didn't expect reiser4 to be so much slower... |

I can't seem to get sensors working with the latest nitro kernel, have you experience any problems? I seem to be missing i2c-isa in the kernel. Also, can't seem to build gkrellm. Is it compatible with gcc 4.0.2?

Hmm, that is very odd, I have not experienced this, maybe it is an affect of it of your notebook hdd ?
Here is the speed hdparm tells me on my desktop's hard drive (sata 150)
conrad-gentoo ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:

Hmm, I never install sensors, but you can make sure that config variable is set in /usr/src/linux/.config
I tried to emerge it just now and am missing, CONFIG_I2C, and CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV in my gentoo-sources kernel.
Not sure it may be nitro sources, but make sure all the correct configuration settings are set in your kernel configuration

Many thanks go out to the Conrad team!
I just finished my install after following the 1.5.0 guide and NOTHING is broken!
I'm running GCC4.0.3 on Linux 2.6.15 Nitro Sources r3...
no problems whatsoever!
Going to be emerging my graphical stuff tonight  |

I don't mean to nag, but could you build links with the javascript USE flag on your LiveCD, as I can't get on bugs.gentoo.org (for example) without it.
EDIT: I realize the LiveCD was built with one responsibility, your install guide, but I tend to use one LiveCD for everything...and I'm really getting sick of having to use really outdated and screwy ones, when I could just use a nifty conrad one.

of course, sorry I didnt include that flag, forgot about it.
It will be included in the new CD, which MAY include a new surprise kernel

|
|
On my brand new AMD64 X2 3800+ and company, I've had difficulty compiling several packages during the emerge --emptytree system step.
On packages "db" and "gettext," I get errors when building the CXX modules. This could be bypassed using the -nocxx option, however that left an unusable system.
Relaxing the CXXFLAGS to "${CFLAGS}" fixed these compiler issues and the system appears to be completing that step without a hitch as we speak.
Just a heads-up to anyone compiling AMD64 with an X2 processor. |

Nevermind. Whenever compiling a system with the X2 processor, I get the following errors:
ERROR: <something cannot be run> until sysinit completes!
for all boot and default services (while booting)
Also, the amd64 livecd does not support PM Timer, and I frequently get the message "Too Many Lost Ticks!"
Kind of at a loss here.

The "until sysinit completes!" errors occur whether or not my system is compiled entirely with ~AMD64.
I have now reinstalled twice using your instructions and have not been able to boot yet. Ideas? |

Hmm, are you running entirely as explained?
Did you have a typo in the CXXFLAGS anywhere?
I've never done FULL amd64 install, but my pal chryseus has I've had the error you has, *** until sysinit completes, I just logged in rebooted and it worked second boot, (possibly something with new baselayout?Mask and Downgrade?)
Try masking the latest 1.12.0 baselayout and getting the stable or 1.12_pre14 or older (I think those were all removed from portage, so probally lastest 1.11*.

I am going to do a new install, and was looking at your new flags.
I'm not seeing -frename-registers in the gcc 4.0.2 guide. Is it included in 4.0.3 or 4.1?
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#Optimize-Options
This is what I normally use:
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -ffriend-injection"
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -fvisibility-inlines-hidden"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-Bdirect"

Just a heads up, the ldflags are wrong. Also, --as-needed will produce problems. Anyway, they should be -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-Bdirect. Although I strongly recommend not using --as-needed (or the C++ visibility stuff for that matter).

--as-needed hasn't broken anything for me yet. I filter it out for various packages with a package.ldflags file
The -Wl at the end of each flag seems to be optional from reading the gcc manual. Either way seems correct, and the flags haven't broken a single package for me yet.

Really? I found it there
| Code: | -frename-registers
Attempt to avoid false dependencies in scheduled code by making use of registers left over after register allocation. This optimization will most benefit processors with lots of registers. Depending on the debug information format adopted by the target, however, it can make debugging impossible, since variables will no longer stay in a home register.
Not enabled by default at any level because it has known bugs. |
I reccomend using the guide AS DIRECTED to prevent any problems, and a heads up -Bdirect will not work unless you have special patched glibc (ex. nxsty's glibc overlay) Assuming you know this, just making sure

| Don't forget for those of you who do use nxsty's glibc overlay that you need to use the binutils overlay in the gentoo bugzilla. (2.16.91.0.5-r2) or the binutils-2.16.1-r1. |
