The Linode configurations, last time I checked, were significantly out of
date (including their Gentoo deployment image). Depending on your level of
paranoia, it may be reasonable for you to boot your Linode using their
rescue environment and perform a stage-3 install that way.
Otherwise, you can simply deploy their Gentoo image and update/harden as
necessary.

As for kernel configuration, I don't recall seeing anything specifically,
however they do include their default kernel configuration in either
/boot/config* or /proc/config.gz, so you can use that as a base.

There isn't a package, however depending on how you configure the kernel,
you can either just copy the .config from one host or another, or the kernel
make program has options to build archives of the built kernel - see `make
help` for details.

Hardened is not one be-all solution - you can use some hardened features and
not others. For example, you can convert to the hardened profile and do not
necessarily need to use hardened-sources. Similarly, if you *do* use
hardened-sources, you do not need to enable an RBAC (such as GRSecurity or
SELinux).

If you do use PaX in the kernel, though, you will need to also be on a
hardened profile to have binaries marked appropriately.

Okay. Thanks for that information. Is there a more descriptive version of
the twenty USE flags I should use for Apache, because the index is rather
vague. I pulled up the wiki page, clicked on a link that was attached to one
of the USE flags, which in turn opened up another three hundred plus USE
opportunities.

As far as you know how to hardened security of your servers. Normal 
profile will be good (Though I still recommend hardened if you're 
familiar with GRsecurity and other ``hardeded'' stuff).


If you go with the hardened version, you will also need to build custom 
kernel and set kernel to pygrub in Linode profile settings (which 
selects proper generic kernel by default). And yes you will need a 
bootloader.


You can find out the kernel config options requirements at Linode website[1]

I don't know any method to build a binary kernel package. Maybe others 
can help. I use to distribute it just by copying vmlinuz and initramfs 
(I built them without any CPU-specific optimization or ``host-only'' mode).

That sounds reasonable. The 1st gen appears to be x86, so I'd suck it and see.

I would try booting with a SystemRescueCD boot stick and, if that works, make a 
dd image of the existing system. Then you've always got a place to fall back on 
if everything goes wrong.

I haven't installed Gentoo on an ATV, but having installed Gentoo quite a few 
times on a variety of devices I recommend you just treat it like any other x86 
box and try it. If you can boot it and make a dd image of the original drive 
then you have nothing to fear, because you can always restore back to where you 
started.

hm, back then and everytime kdbus came up on lkml the consensus was
'speed? you do it for speed? Get userspace dbus in order and the speed
argument collapses'. Pretty much everybody also voiced problems with
security (none) and the statefulness of dbus.

All problems, blissfully ignored by the kdbus bunch.

Look directly into /lib/firmware/radeon/ and make sure you do not have
a typo somewhere.

Building directly into the kernel is a really good idea for video drivers.

Another tool you may want to check out, is Rich0's kernel crash dump page::

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_Crash_Dumps


Last, when all else fails and is actually quite easy is to find a
liveCD/DVD, from any distro that boots your lappy with the radeon driver
that works. Then you parse about to find the one it uses. Some of these
drivers are very close in the components and vendor card vendors have
a 'malaise' of dis information surrounding the exact specs of the video
components in there hardware, particularly laptop and tablet vendors.


Just keep looking around, trying different ones out and something will
work, eventually.

'lspci -k' show video driver details use on a generic livedvd booted system.

A livedvd was created to give away at a recent california conference but I
did not see it posted anywhere on the Release Engineering project pages.
There are other gentoo derivative distros with livedvd you can bootup
to help find the correct driver.

User running emerge is root.

This is what my /var/tmp/portage looks like (when no emerge is running)
-8<-
# find /var/tmp/portage/ -type d -exec ls -pald {} +
drwxrwxrwt 5 portage portage 4096 Mar 26 17:53 /var/tmp/portage//

/var/tmp/portage/.distcc/lock/
drwxrwsr-x 2 rootportage 4096 Mar 26 17:51
/var/tmp/portage/.distcc/state/
-8<-

This looks the same as on my other systems with the exception of the
.distcc (as this is the only system using distcc).

The .distcc is automatically created when emerging and distcc is enabled.

So the kernel *wants* to load the Evergreen firmware blobs.

Sure, but the kernel seems to think that the hardware is evergreen for some 
reason.  The Radeon HD 7670M apparently is based on the same chipset as Radeon 
HD 6650M:

http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7670M.69483.0.html

so it may be that the foundry it came out of was of an Evergreen batch.

I would first check that you have in your menuconfig the complete space 
separated Turks stanza:

radeon/BTC_rlc.bin radeon/TURKS_mc.bin radeon/TURKS_me.bin 
radeon/TURKS_pfp.bin radeon/TURKS_smc.bin radeon/SUMO_uvd.bin

and make sure there are no misspellings in there.  If it still complains, then 
replace these with the Evergreen (or whatever dmesg complains about) and try 
booting again.

BTW, have you tried booting different kernels, or LiveISOs to see what they 
detect the hardware as?

[gentoo-user] DRM Problem : Radeon HD 7670M

[JingYuan Chen]

Hello,

I had installed Gentoo in my laptop  successfully last weekend. My laptop
is Toshiba Satellite L840. I found that my VGA card is Radeon HD 7670M
using "lspci -k" command. Therefore, I refer to Gentoo's Radeon wiki page
to configure 4.1.15-r1 kernel with TURKS firmware and emerge linux-firmware
atom.

However, my new kernel can not load TURKS successfully. I notice that there
is an error message with DRM in dmesg's output. It shows
[drm:evergreen_init] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware.

Why Evergreen ? Is not Northern Islands ? I am sure that the filename I
gave is TURKS's firmware in menuconfig.

How could I make the dmesg's error message more verbose to debug ?

Are there some configurations should I check again ?

p.s. I built it in kernel not in modules.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Phil

grub2-mkconfig generates no menu entries. Do I need anything generated

The only real relevant configuration in /etc/default/grub should be correct.

I've tried several values for GRUB_DEVICE, which has no effect. This
page says an initramfs isn't needed even (for either btrfs RAID or
non-RAID configuration), though several pages disagree on this.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2

grub2-install also fails:

  # grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi /dev/sda
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.

What EFI directory? The one I created under /boot?

I've also tried a pure EFI stub loader. Attempting to build a dracut

depending on the compression method used.

   GEN usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz

This page suggests generating an uncompressed image with dracut and
renaming the file with a .cpio extension which I'd guess is erroneous
advice. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/EFI_stub_kernel . The remaining
instructions WRT eficompmgr all seem to assume I've been able to build
a kernel with a built-in command line and initramfs.

Is there any simpler way of doing this? I've gotten grub2 to work with
a btrfs RAID 10 and initramfs in the past but somehow grub2-mkconfig
isn't working now.


I installed Gentoo on more than 10 PC's and Laptops and virtual machines 
during the past 12 month. Tried Grub2, Btrf, etc. They caused problems. 
Genkernel, Grub-static, Ext4 with Disklabels, Samba, Xfce, always worked 
at first try, including workstations with RAID 5 booting from a RAID 1 
partition using a "Cut & Paste" installation script that does 95% of the 
keyboard work. Nothing complex, just very simple.

While there is general interest in a better design, Linus believes it
is in fact needed and intends to merge the ultimate result.  The
concern is with the design of kdbus itself, not the concept.  It is
just a more rigorous form of IPC.

New Clevo W670RZQ Laptop with 6th Gen i7 cpu, hm170 Intel chipset and on-
board graphics.

Will the latest stable kernel and firmware packages work with it? Will the
most recent minimal install disc be adequate for my needs, or should I go
with another distribution for the purpose of having a working  nic?

Anyone have first hand knowledge?

[gentoo-user] Anyone running gentoo on AppleTV 1st gen?

[Mick]

Hi All,

In the hope of some of you being more experienced around Apple devices, I 
thought of asking here first.

I've come across an AppleTV 1 box and been searching the Interwebs for gentoo 
related info.  At present I only intend to use it as a NAS box and VPN 
gateway.  Later on I may use it as a media server with Kodi, but first things 
first, what is the recommended up to date method to install Gentoo on it?

I have come across these rather outdated pages which advise to use a ATV-
Bootloader USB Stick, but I am not sure if this would be necessary these days 
with various UEFI LiveISOs around:
