 |
|
| Hi, got my mac studio, finally, and would like to install Gentoo on Parallel Desktop 17. How different should be the process of installing it with ARM processor instead of Intel? except of booting arm image, of course |

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Gentoo on ARM.

leonchik1976,
Its arm64 also known as aarch64, not arm.
Unlike AMD/Intel, there is no multilib on arm64. Its OK to run a 64 bit or a 32 bit userland on top of a arm64 kernel but there is no mix and match.
The arm64 Minimal should boot. Then its almost the same as the amd64 handbook.
When you install grub, and get to efibootmgr beware the .efi file name, its not the same as the amd64 file.
I don't know the M1 chip but 32 bit support on arm64 hardware is optional and they don't all have it.
However, you should not be running any 32 bit code.

I was able to install it without any issues (well, except of re-configuring kernel), and everything works perfectly, on PD17 |

On a related note, I have just installed it on a Macbook Air m1 with UTM/QEMU. Followed the amd64 handbook (I am a complete Gentoo newbie!) with a couple of caveats: /dev/vda instead of sda, and the efi file for efibootmgr as it was mentioned in an earlier post (but that's easy to spot once it has been installed).
Both firefox and chromium compiled OK (took several hours, though  ) |

| Code: | qlop -mtv firefox
2022-08-12T23:15:58 >>> www-client/firefox-91.11.0: 15′59″ |
This is M1 Max using the default UTM/QEMU processor settings, it is using the 8 performance cores. The install is on a usb connected ssd, I am not going to compile on the soldered on drive ...
I didn't really intend to use this laptop for building Gentoo but, well, the affliction. I'll see how it does maintaining my Pi drives w/chroot.
I also have yet to figure out getting the display settings to match the native resolution.

My m1 air took instead 59 mins using -j6. The VM is on a TB3 ssd, but the real issue is the CPU throttling - after 15mins or so the performance cores were running at 1GHz! |
