 Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2022 10:54 pm Post subject: arm64 sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel questions |
 |
|
So far I have just used the kernel and parts from the then current RPiOS when setting up a Pi, or updating its kernel. I wasn't prepared to sort my way through configuring a kernel for the Pi, still not ready to. I had tried gentoo-kernel on an amd64 box for a while and it seems fine.
How is gentoo-kernel working for those of you using the arm64 variety?
I suppose | Code: | root #cd /usr/src/linux
root #mount /boot
root #make -j4 Image modules dtbs
root #make modules_install dtbs_install |
works.
Any input is welcome, thanks. |

flysideways,
You will need to write a config.txt file as the Raspberry Pi firmware will not find the kernel or dtb installed by
I'm not sure if you get /boot/overlays like that either.
I've always cross compiled my kernel and installed it by hand.

I have my Gentoo booting from the usb. I have just booted the Pi from RPiOS on the sd card, made sure it was current, and copied the bits to the Gentoo usb drive.
I did build Gentoo a few times from Sakaki's guide but not in a long time. I have been doing everything natively for grins. I even set up a Pi distcc farm for a while. That was interesting but, well, just an exercise. I was sort of curious to gain experience as a user that had minimal hardware access, in order to have an opinion based upon actual experience. |
