When I first pushed the button, it was very uneventful and the dialog simply disappeared. This is an acceptable risk to me since I don’t have any older versions. The warning is that it will no longer work in older versions of Fusion once I push this button. I’m running VMWare 3.1.0 so I’m referring to when I start up VMWare and it asks me if I want to upgrade the VM to use newer features of 3.1.0. I rebuilt the kernel with some of the suggestions that were stated in the wiki and that did the trick.įeeling brave today, I decided to click the “upgrade” button this time when I started up Haiku. I ended up finding a wiki on installing Gentoo in a VM. I’ve yet to nail a Gentoo installation on the first attempt but this time I was much closer. Umount /mnt/gentoo/dev /mnt/gentoo/proc /mnt/gentoo/boot /mnt/gentooĪlas, it didn’t work. Time emerge syslog-ng vixie-cron grub dhcpcdĪfter that it’s time to nano /boot/grub/nf:Īfter this, supposedly it’s time to unchroot, cross my fingers and reboot:
Then I installed cron, syslog, grub dhcpcd: Then I editted the /etc/fstab to look something like this: I just added ext2 support and a couple of extra modules I want to experiment with. I didn’t do a lot of tweaking with the kernel this time around. Sed -i -e ‘s/HOSTNAME.*/HOSTNAME=”gentoo”/’ conf.d/hostname Livecd / # env-update & source /etc/profileĬp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtimeĪfter that, it’s time to fix up the hostname:Įcho “127.0.0.1 gentoo localhost” > hosts Livecd / # cp -L /etc/nf /mnt/gentoo/etc/ Livecd / # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev Livecd / # mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc Next, I changed snagged the latest portage via links and untarred that: I hit the downloads link, then hit the stages button next to i686 and found the most recent stage3-i686 tar.bz2 file and downloaded it. Thankfully this system is several orders of magnitude faster than a Celeron 466MHz. After I was booted up, I ran a couple of benchmarks.
I set it to boot from the minimal ISO that I used to burn the CD for the other day. I gave it 512MB ram, 30GB hard drive and set it to “generic linux 2.6.X kernel”. There is no template for Gentoo so I tweaked the settings a bit. The first thing I did was create a new virtual machine. Today, I’m attempting to install it in a far more useful capacity as a virtual machine under VMware Fusion. The other day I installed Gentoo on an old Celeron 466MHz and it was quite an adventure.
