donjames,
Probably but I've never tried?
Maybe with | Code: | | /etc/conf.d/consolefont |
?
See the comments.

NeddySeagoon,
No problem. I can ssh into the Pi from another computer.
Thanks,

donjames,
I have a Pi 2 booting an April 2020 armv7 Gentoo on top of the 4.19.118v7+ Foundation kernel.
I didn't get it quite right. I forgot to add a password hash to /etc/shadow, so I can't log in. :)
I wasn't expecting it to boot first time, so I didn't bother connecting a mouse, keyboard or network cable.
I will set the root password and add --noclear to /etc/inttab, so the console messages stay on the screen when the login prompt appears.
That's for Friday night my time.
-- edit --
Its fixed. I'll write some instructions and host it Friday night.

donjames,
There has been a delay. I've managed to destroy the server install where I wan going to host this stuff.
Its still up but it will never reboot. The LVM2 label on the physical volume is gone, so I can't remount any of the filesystems any more.
Once I've done the salvage operation, I'll host your stuff there.

NeddySeagoon,
I understand. I'm not in a hurry. Take your time and do it right.
I do appreciate your help.
By the way, I rent space on a public ftp server for my website. It is unlimited everything. I created an account for you so that you can upload files:
Username: NeddySeagoon@test.donaldbjames.info
Host name: test.donaldbjames.info
Password: [Removed by Hu - posting passwords publicly is asking for trouble. Try sending it via private message instead.]
Let me know if this will work for you.
My email address: donaldbjames@gmail.com

donjames,
Google indexes the forum. In less than 24 hours, that account will be full of unsavoury material.
Delete the account and all the files that were uploaded there.
FTP works for me. Its been a while.
Set up a new account, with a new password.
PM here works, as does email.
Don't put all the credentials in the same email unless you encrypt the email with my gpg key.

donjames,
Its here
Its a bzip2ed image of a 4G SD card that boots for me.
unbzip2 it and dd it to any 4G or larger SD.
There is only about 2G used. There is a 128Mb boot and 2G root. No swap as its not intended to be used much.
Its an unofficial April 2020 Gentoo arm7a stage3 on top of the current Foundation kernel.
The root pass is raspberry.
There is nothing extra and nothing configured.
I did make a couple of changes to /etc/inittab to fix things that annoy me.
See the comments.

NeddySeagoon,
Can't get the darn thing to boot. The red light is steady and the green light flashes for a minute and then goes off.
I formatted the sd card before I loaded the disk image. Used S D Card Formatter to format the card and balenaEtcher to write the image to the sd card.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Don James |

donjames,
There is no need to format the SD card. The formatting is included in the image at no extra charge :)
The image is compressed. You must uncompress it before it is written to the card.
You write the image with dd in linux.
If the green light flashed like that. you should have got the rainbow, at least.
That image will not start networking or sshd. That will be the next step. Make ssh work and try to log in over the network.
Just in case its all working perfectly well but your console is using black text on a black background. :)
I'll try and fix that during my morning on Sunday.
HDMI is supposed to be auto detected. Read about Video options in config.txt
and try in the config.txt

NeddySeagoon,
It booted in text mode! It only took a few seconds to boot.
No ethernet. Got to figure out how to turn on the ethernet.
Can you tell me where the instructions are for configuring the ethernet with a static ip?

donjames,
The setup follows the Gentoo handbook. That's arch independent.
You will want to fix the SD Card partitioning before you do much more.
The image is 4G because I put it onto a 4G SD card to test. It has almost 2G of unpartitioned space.
As its a 4G image, regardless of the size of the SD card you put it on, the partition table will never show more that 4G of space.
There is no ::gentoo repo installed and it probably won't fit in the remaining space on the root filesystem either.
The steps to fix that are rather scary and there are tools to do it too.
What you have there is the stage3 and the Foundation kernel from the firmware repo at commit 20354bebcc2a8448128f2348e19e155910d25122. I didn't need to build the kernel as it already had | Code: | | [*] Simple Framebuffer |
I put those two together, edited /etc/inittab and set a root password.
It was only intended to be a proof of concept, not a work in progress that you can complete.
If you want to build on it you can. There are two ways you do the scary steps above by hard or with a tool.
You copy the contents of the two filesystem to another SD card that you partition and format. To use the same SD card, you need to save everything somewhere.

NeddySeagoon,
I got the ethernet to work and noticed that I couldn't do an emerge. Thanks for the help with getting the ethernet working.
You mentioned tools to help create a real, working gentoo on the pi2. Where are those tools?
I really need detailed instructions for doing this.
Regards,
Don James.

donjames,
You need to expand the partition table to describe your entire SD card. Its only 4G just naw.
Then resize the root partition. I think parted can do that.
Then run resize2fs on the root filesystem to make it fill the partition.
You can do all this in a PC.
Once that's done you will have space for the ::gentoo repo, which will provide profiles for you to choose and the ebuilds for you to emerge.
Start in the handbook with the portage snapshot. That's after your SD card is fixed.

NeddySeagoon,
I fixed my SD card.
I am not sure where to go from here.
"Start in the handbook with the portage snapshot. " makes no sense to me because the handbook has no procedure for installing gentoo on the ARM processor.

Don James

donjames,
Most of the handbook is architecture agnostic, so you can use any handbook you like.
Its up to you to spot the architecture specific bits.
Start reading at that link but don't do any of it.
That's about the stage3 and is already done.
The CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS are architecture specficic.
Start here
When you get to | Code: | | eselect profile list |
you will get arm profiles, not amd64 ones. Choose one that best fits your use case.
Skip the kernel as its done.
Follow the next two pages, then skip the boot loader as the Pi does not need one.
Finish with Finalising

donjames,
As the Pi2 does not have WiFi, plug the dongle into a USB port then run
If the wifi is there the hard bit is done.
WiFi setup is well covered on the Wiki.
If does not list your WiFi, its a lot harder.
Post the output of so we can see the WiFi you have.
Wifi at the USB end is architecture independent, so if it works in your PC, the same steps will make it work on the Pi.
Wifi will want up to 500mA from the Pi. that's sometimes a problem, depending on your Pi PSU.
Keep an eye on the Red LED, look out for resets and corrupted filesystems.

Looks like the pi is talking to my wireless adapter. The wireless adapter does work with Ubuntuand Raspbian.
i have attempted to configure wpa_supplicant, but can't seem to get it to work. I attempted to configure it with a static ip address.

# Somewhat simplified example
# The code below is from /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
# The below line not be changed otherwise wpa_supplicant refuses to work

donjames,
Did you install the firmware for the WiI?
Its in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and is provided by linux-firmware.
Some wifi interfaces appear in ifconfig without the firmware being loaded but its a case of the lights are on but there is nobody there.
Given that the firmware loads, dmesg will tell you all about it if fails, wpa-supplicant can do its thing.
Bringing up a WiFi interface is a two stage process.
Use wpa-supplicant to get the radio link both associated and authenticated. Once that's done, the usual Ethernet tools are used to configure the interface.
dmesg will tell what wpa-supplicant did, or failed to do.
Please put it onto a pastebin.
Its good to have the configuration file you posted above. We also need to know what happened when the system tried to use them.

Its in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and is provided by linux-firmware.
Some wifi interfaces appear in ifconfig without the firmware being loaded but its a case of the lights are on but there is nobody there.
Given that the firmware loads, dmesg will tell you all about it if fails, wpa-supplicant can do its thing.
Bringing up a WiFi interface is a two stage process.
Use wpa-supplicant to get the radio link both associated and authenticated. Once that's done, the usual Ethernet tools are used to configure the interface.
dmesg will tell what wpa-supplicant did, or failed to do.
Please put it onto a pastebin.
Its good to have the configuration file you posted above. We also need to know what happened when the system tried to use them. |

donjames,
| Code: | [ 29.110857] wlan0: authenticate with d4:ca:6d:a6:5d:29
[ 29.139222] wlan0: send auth to d4:ca:6d:a6:5d:29 (try 1/3)
[ 29.143598] wlan0: authenticated
[ 29.147585] wlan0: associate with d4:ca:6d:a6:5d:29 (try 1/3)
[ 29.154512] wlan0: RX AssocResp from d4:ca:6d:a6:5d:29 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=2)
[ 29.260649] wlan0: associated |
That worked. That's wlan0 authenticated and associated, so the kernel is fine, wpa_supplicant did its thing but I don't see wlan0 getting its network settings.
Is it in with an address?
What does do?
That should set up wlan0 and it will work until its lease expires.

raspberry /home/don #
| Code: | /etc/dhcpcd.conf is
GNU nano 4.6 dhcpcd.conf
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.94
static routers=192.168.l.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1
interface wlan0

When I try to ping to the router:
ping 192.168.1.1
It responds with 100% packet loss.
ping google.com
It responds with 100% packet loss.
When I do:
ping google.com
It comes back with Temporary failure in name resolution.
ping 192.168.1.1
Host unreachable
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Don James

donjames,
That looks OKish.
Having two interfaces in the same subnet is a bad thing.
The output of route will be interesting.
Save it before you follow the rest of this post.
For testing, edit /etc/rc.conf and set | Code: | | rc_depend_strict="NO" |
Read the comment and understand what it does.
You will need to uncomment it.
Stop eth0 and I would expect WiFi to work.
Any one at a time should work.
