Hey all, I know some work was done to get Funtoo running on the 2011-released HP TouchPad 10" tablet. I remember people working on getting even Arch Linux running on it. Has anyone else gotten such working if you still have a ratty old TouchPad still laying around? I could easily install LuneOS (the open source successor to webOS proper, formerly known as OpenWebOS), but having a full-blown touch capable desktop OS on this old but still quite impressive tablet would be awesome.
Thanks,
Shiggitay

shiggitay: do you do the lsmod diff like we talked about on IRC?
No.. Who are you on iRC?

sorry i wasn't feeling good last night shiggitay.... yeah your fstab is messed up. swap can be a file or a partition. your configs set for partition mode so it would need another partition or set to file mode.... arch has good documentation on setting up a swap file if you're pinned into moving that way rather than re-partitioning.

i use a swap file on my root partition located @ /swap
Okay... point made, but that's not quite my issue... I'm trying to boot up from an SD Card, and from what I know you need an initramfs to load up before the kernel can with the proper mmc_core etc drivers. THAT'S what I'm asking for help with.

^ ^ ^
fdisk and fstab pastes.
I'm using Grub2 as my bootloader. That works fine as it's booting from the onboard tablet NAND storage (/dev/mmcblk0p1)
What 'custom' and 'configs' do you want to see? /etc/boot.conf? Let me know and I'll post them for you. :)

Hey all. I've been messing with my Intel BayTrail (Atom-based Z3740D CPU) tablet trying to get it to boot and properly run Funtoo Linux. I've gotten it to boot actually but now I decided I want to dual boot Funtoo and Windows 8.1. I have Windows on the internal flash (NAND) and it boots up fine, but I'd also like to have Funtoo as an option as well. There's one catch: I have it installed on a 16 GB microSD card. I assume I'd need an initramfs with the proper parameters/drivers/modules to tell the kernel where the root partitions for Funtoo is etc. I know what modules I'd need to get it working, but I don't know how to tell genkernel to generate an initramfs image with the right device path in /dev, and the required modules to load as the initramfs loads up.
Is anyone up to the task of helping me out?
Thanks,
Shiggitay

Hey all. I finally got my Intel BayTrail tablet, I'm trying to boot Sysrescue onto it. I'm running into UEFI issues. I cannot get it to boot off of the live USB I made no matter what I do. Can anyone offer any pointers? I got the Quantum Suppliers? ?QuantumView? and it'll only boot into the eMMC-preinstalled Windows 8, of which I'd like to give a shot, since it's made for touch screens (I have a have keyboard dock as well, as it comes with one) but ultimately I'd like to install and run Funtoo Linux. Thanks in advance.

Hey all. First post, but I'm a long time Funtoo supporter. I plan on getting an x86 (Intel Atom-based) tablet soon for Funtoo and I had a few questions:
? Since it's an Intel platform (it ships with Windows 8.1 32bit installed) will Grub install as if it were on a regular PC?
? Would I be able to install to an SD Card thus leaving the onboard eMMC intact with Windows in case I need it?
? What has the best chance of working with the current kernel iterations?
That's all I can think of at the moment, but if I can think of something else to ask I'll edit this post/respond to anyone that's responded etc.
Thanks,
Shiggitay
P.S. I'm also in the iRC channel under this same nick if you'd like to PM me.
EDIT: BTW, here are the two tablets I have in mind for this project:
an 8 inch form factor: http://www.microcenter.com/product/429776/VivoTab_Note_8_Tablet_-_Black
and a 10.1" form factor: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.aspx?sku=410605
EDIT 2: I think I might have a winner: http://www.quantumsuppliers.com/shop/bts-products/quantum-view-10-1-windows-tablet/
Respectfully and regards

I've not used Funtoo or anything Gentoo-based in years, but it did help shape me as a Linux user. I started my Linux journey with Mandrake 9.x on a 233 MHz Pentium II back in the late 90s/early 2000s which was my DC++/Direct Connect hub server machine, followed by various bouts with Ubuntu flavors, Funtoo after that, Void after I got tired of Funtoo for that moment, and now I've landed on Arch Linux. I'm very comfortable on Arch, and it's all thanks to Funtoo and indirectly Gentoo as well. @drobbinsThanks for helping me learn how Linux works. I'll forever be grateful to you and your team of volunteers. I assume you're ending Funtoo to concentrate on Moccachino OS? I know you merged Funtoo's base with Sabayon and you and the Sabayon developer started developing a new, more containerized distro called Moccachino OS. If that's true, once it's in a stable state I'll gladly try it out. I have several test machines that I could play with it on.
