Gentoo Vaio Setup

From KdjWiki

Pre-Setup

After booting from the minimal cd (2005.1), enable wired networking:

 # net-setup eth0

HDD Setup

 # fdisk /dev/sda

• /dev/sda1 : type 83, size 50MB, boot flag = on
• /dev/sda2 : type 82 (swap), size 2xRAM size (1024 MB)
• /dev/sda3 : type 83, size = remainder (58 GB)

Make filesystems:

 # mke2fs -j /dev/sda1
 # mkreiserfs /dev/sda3
 # mkswap /dev/sda2

Base System

Mount partitions:

 # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
 # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
 # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
 # swapon /dev/sda2

Prepare for install:

 # date MMDDhhmmYYYY
 # cd /mnt/gentoo
 # wget http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo/releases/x86/2005.1/stages/pentium4/stage3-pentium4-2005.1.tar.bz2
 # tar -xvjpf stage3-pentium4-2005.1.tar.bz2
 # rm stage3-pentium4-2005.1.tar.bz2

Chroot to system:

 # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
 # cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
 # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
 # env-update
 # source /etc/profile

Set USE variables:

 # nano -w /etc/make.conf

• USE="apache2 php mysql ssl X gtk gnome -qt -kde"

NOTE: You may also need to change your CFLAGS from -march= to -mcpu=

 # ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney /etc/localtime
 # emerge sync
 # emerge -u world

Configure Kernel:

 # emerge gentoo-sources
 # emerge genkernel
 # zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6
 # genkernel --udev --menuconfig all

 # emerge -k coldplug
 # rc-update add coldplug boot
 # emerge -k hotplug
 # rc-update add hotplug default

Configure Mounts:

 # nano -w /etc/fstab

# nano -w /etc/conf.d/hostname
# nano -w /etc/conf.d/domainname
# rc-update add hostname default
# rc-update add domainname default

 # nano -w /etc/hosts
