 |
|
I had trouble in installing gentoo on ASUS vivobook E200HA. The problem is that after boot login prompt shows up, unfortunately internal keyboard absolutely didn’t work, though external USB keyboard works well.
However I finally succeeded in installing gentoo on E200HA with usable internal keyboard !
Now I enjoy gentoo life with tmux+dracula theme+fbterm 256 colors (off course sound OK, Wifi OK) on this E200HA machine.
The point is that Asus E200HA vivobook internal keyboard needs 'HID over I2C transport layer ACPI driver' regarding internal keyboard connection.
Although generally the easiest way to install gentoo on a PC is always to execute ‘genkernel all’ command, you must be unable to use internal keyboard as it is simply because even ‘genkernel all’ doesn’t automatically set on 'HID over I2C transport layer ACPI driver' for E200HA.
Hence Tip
First of all, please add option '--menuconfig' as below
| Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig all |
then menuconfig opton invokes an interactive configuration menu and now you can see 'HID over I2C transport layer drive' line as below. Set it on !
| Code: |
Devise Driver --->
HID support --->
I2C HID support --->
HID over I2C transport layer ACPI driver ( ) →(M) |
that's it !
menuconfig exit then genkernel automatically starts compiling kernel and making initramfs needed at the same time.
And reboot.
You must get available internal keyboard on your ASUS vivobook E200HA !!
Enjoy gentoo life together ! 
Notes!
You are required to have some drivers compiled in the kernel as for file system (your necessary ext4, vfat etc.) and handling MMC device in advance in order to boot adequately ! |
