  3. Cant install funtoo (several error messages)

    in Installation Help

    Posted · Edited by lego12239

    Look, to boot to your clean(base) funtoo system you don't need to do chroot or emerge/ego. Just:

    - make partition
    - make fs
    - mount this partition
    - unpack stage3 (cd /mnt; unxz -c ~/stage3-intel64-nehalem-1.4-release-std-2020-09-07.tar.xz | tar -x --numeric-owner --xattrs --xattrs-include='*' --acls )
    - clear root passwd (delete "x" in /mnt/etc/passwd)
    - install boot loader:

       - without EFI:
       grub-install --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ /dev/sdc
       - with EFI:
    mkdir /mnt/boot/efi; mount /dev/sdc2 /mnt/boot/efi; grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ --efi-directory=/mnt/boot/efi --removable

    - write a simple /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg, like:
      

    set timeout=2

menuentry 'Funtoo' {
        insmod gzio
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ext2
        set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
        echo    'Loading kernel...'
        linux   /boot/kernel-debian-sources-x86_64-4.8.15-1 root=/dev/sda3 ro
        echo    'Loading initial ramdisk...'
        initrd  /boot/initramfs-debian-sources-x86_64-4.8.15-1
}

    - umount /mnt/boot/efi; umount /mnt;
    - reboot to fresh OS
    - login as root
    - set new passwod for root with passwd program
    - ego sync; epro mix-ins no-systemd; emerge -auND @world
    - etc

    The goal of these steps are to minimize actions in the installation environment and do most of them in the fresh Funtoo instance(this is simpler).

    Hi folks,

    So, what i found out so far:
    - inside the fchroot (pretty sure something here failed) running a "cat /etc/fstab" reveals a "overlay / overlay defaults 0 0". If i am right, i should see the sample fstab here instead
    - "df -h /" says "overlay 1.8G 544M 1.3G 31%".
    - "grub-install --target=i386-pc --no-floppy /dev/sda fails with "grub-install: error: failed to get path of 'overlay'"
     

    Try to specify a path to boot dir with --boot-directory option. Like this:

      

    grub-install --target=i386-pc --no-floppy --boot-directory=/mnt/funtoo/boot/ /dev/sda

     

  7. Current state of funtoo, roadmap and future?

    I have a full time job and also a toddler, a wife, two kids in college, and two more kids in elementary and middle school ?

    ? Daniel, i have only 2 kids and no free time at all. I want to send a few patches for funtoo network scripts infrastructure duringabout several month, but  I stupidly do not have enough time for this :-D. How do you manage all this :-D?

  8. I'm probably insane. ;-) I've put my whole / into a tmpfs. Here are the steps I've done.

    IIUC, if you get a power failure, then all new data will be lost, isn't it(or you mount /home from ssd/hdd?)? If your workflow consist of running several programs, then after first run every program should start fast in any case, due to fs blocks cache. Thus, how this speeds are differ(program second start from ssd/hdd and from tmpfs)?

  19. I don't get grub on reboot

    but the grub does not load me

    What does it mean? What error message or what behaviour do you see?

    initrd /initramfs-debian-sources-x86_64-5.9.6_p1

    Do you really have kernel and initramfs in the fs root(instead of /boot)?
