Simple Gentoo installation.
Simple partitions for new Desktop users. Common problems with Gentoo installation.
I am not super nerd. I spend several days for sex with UEFI and GTP.
We will create partition table "dos" with MBR and with no-so-legacy "Legacy BIOS".
Here is simplest partitions:
a) "Legacy BIOS boot" in BIOS. Switch off UEFI.
b) You don't need SWAP partition if you have 4GB RAM or more.
c) The end structure:
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/sda2 / ext4 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda3 /home ext4 noatime 0 2
# and you left 1 partition for swap and everything.
|
d) doing partitions:
fdisk -t dos /dev/sda
1) | Code: |
Command (m for help):n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 1
First sector (64-10486533532, default 64): +128M
mkfs.ext2 -T small /dev/sda1
|
2)
| Code: | Command (m for help):n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (2-4)
p
Partition number (2-4): 2
First sector : +31000M
mkfs.ext4 -j /dev/sda2 |
3) | Code: |
Command (m for help):n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (3-4)
p
Partition number (3-4): 3
First sector (64-10486533532, default 64): +25000M
mkfs.ext4 -j -T small /dev/sda3
|
Kernel:
- not working. Error: -fstack-protector not supported. Instead use:
| Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig all |
Kernel recompile:
| Code: |
make --menuconfig
make -j4 (4 - cpu count)
make install
cp .config /.config_saved
genkernel --kernel-config=/.config_saved initrafs |

You do need 4GB+ (or swap) if you plan to compile large programs like chromium (last time I looked at it was 3GB RAM + 5GB disk), but yes, swap is not a requirement nowadays. If you have enough RAM, make a big tmpfs - I have 6GB for browser profile/portage tmp dir - this will keep your ssd in shape (or your hdd from spinning like crazy)
If you recompile the same kernel with genkernel --kernel-config=/path/to/your/old/config then genkernel will rename your old config (backup) and complain there is no config. |
