After 10 minutes of explaining mv and cp, "You have a source, that's the first parameter, and a destination, that's the second parameter", they still manage to get it wrong, usually because someone updated something on Facebook 3 minutes into the explanation, and they got distracted by it...

[gentoo-user] ethernet dont use kernel module
Hi all. I'm again :P (I'm becoming an annoying). I have a realtek 8111F ethernet. I boot from a live-usb, make an lspci -v and says ethernet uses r8169 module. I compiled my kernel with this module, and when I start the system eth0 does not exist (Just lo), and a lspci -v says anything about modules. Also I tried doing modprobe r8169 with no errors, but I still with out eth0. So, any ideas why it is happening? :/ As always.. I hope make me understand, my english is no too good Thank you list!

I have an Ideapad y510p that's dual-booting Win8.x and Gentoo. It
shipped with 8.0 and after I got it dual-booting I upgraded to 8.1.
It's not quite the same model, but I guess it can't hurt to type what I
remember. I didn't take notes, because if I ran into any trouble it
was my plan just to wipe the drive and install only Gentoo. I just
flew by the seat of my pants, so I'm sure this isn't the smartest way
to do things.
My model came with a smallish SSD meant for caching. The SSD is sda and
the HDD is sdb.
Here's the current state of sdb, from gdisk:
Number Start (sector)End (sector) Size Code Name
12048 2050047 1000.0 MiB 2700 Basic data partition
2 2050048 2582527 260.0 MiB EF00 EFI system partition
3 2582528 4630527 1000.0 MiB Basic data partition
4 4630528 4892671 128.0 MiB 0C01 Microsoft reserved part
5 1563490304 1870690303 146.5 GiB 0700 Basic data partition
6 1870690304 1923119103 25.0 GiB0700 Basic data partition
7 1923119104 1953523711 14.5 GiB2700 Basic data partition

10 519987221583871 7.8 GiB 0700
1121583872 1562466303 734.8 GiB 0700
sdb1-sdb7 existed on the drive when I got it. sdb5 is where Windows is
installed. To make room for Gentoo, I shrunk sdb5 it and slid it to the
end of its space using the GUI partition tool on System Rescue CD,
which I think is gparted. I also used System Rescue CD to install
Gentoo. It's important to boot System Rescue CD in EFI mode, at least
for installing the bootloader.
sdb8 is meant for an installation of System Rescue CD, but I haven't
gotten around to installing it.
sdb9 is /boot, sdb10 is swap, and sdb 11 is Gentoo /
I emerged grub in the chrooted environment. I mounted sdb2
at /boot/efi, installed grub on sdb9 (/boot), and ran grub-mkconfig to
make a config file for grub. The output indicated that it had found
both Gentoo and Windows. The bios (or whatever it's called now)
setup recognized grub as a new EFI-booting option and let me move it to
first priority, and I got to the grub menu.
grub booted Gentoo just fine, but Windows booting failed, something
about not finding partitions or files. Instead of troubleshooting that,
I disabled os probing for grub (GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
in /etc/default/grub) and added Windows via /etc/grub.d/40_custom ,
like so:
menuentry "Windows 8.x" {
set root='(hd1,gpt2)'
chainloader /EFI/microsoft/BOOT/bootmgfw.efi
}
Running grub-mkconfig after that got me a grub.cfg which works to boot
Gentoo and Windows, though I don't get any fancy options for Windows,
such as safe mode.

This way you ensure the student has everything you expect him/her to have, and it may be more acceptable for layman to install an emulator with the image, while being able to use his/her own OS, than to reboot each time, and this setup allows to easily save configuration options/work results. -- Best wishes, Yuri K.

Meanwhile, after I'd finished an emerge -e world (no -K) and backed the whole system up, I ran an emerge -uaDvN world and it wanted to reinstall every package on the system! Leaving out the -D it just wanted to upgrade a couple of packages that had been updated while I was not watching.

So you have to boot from a live-system doing EFI boot. AFAI remember sysresccd is able to do that, for example.
