Hello
I am trying to install gentoo on new hardware (AMD based) that has an nvme drive. I am using elilo, and would like to use that because of its simplicity.
I have insalled gentoo-kernel-bin and copied the vmlinuz kernel and initramfs file to my efi partition.
When I try to boot, the system reboots itself, after loading the vmlinuz and initramfs files.
How could I determine the cause of this?
I am suspecting that this has to do with nvme drives, and how they are not recognized by the initramfs. I found a thread in the forum that might be related to this. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8835320.html. There it says
| Quote: | | Without CONFIG_VMD=y kernel cannot access its NVME devices. |
In the distribution kernel I have these settings
| Code: |
...
CONFIG_VMD=m
...
CONFIG_NVME_COMMON=m
CONFIG_NVME_CORE=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NAME=m
CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH=y
|
I also wanted to ask if I could use distribution kernel, but use the gentoo-kernel and instead of gentoo-kernel-bin, and modify the configuration using (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Distribution_Kernel#Modifying_kernel_configuration) using config snippets?
