Thanks! |

I have just downloaded an experimental x86-uClibc stages1. :-) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
For both my development system and my target system(s) are "x86", |
| 36 |
I think that "chroot"-ing into my build environment (based on stage1) |
| 37 |
should also work. i. e. re-use my current 2.6.9-kernel. |
| 38 |
(The target kernel is also 2.6.9, but for generic i386) |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Something like this should work. Right? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
1. extract stage1 to "rootfs/" |
| 43 |
2. copy modules from generic i386-kernel to rootfs/lib/modules (???, see below) |
| 44 |
3. configure networking (rootfs/etc/resolv.conf) |
| 45 |
4. chroot roofs /bin/bash |
| 46 |
- ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 47 |
5. emerge sync |
| 48 |
6. /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh |
| 49 |
7. emerge system |
| 50 |
8. customize and emerge ... udev hotplug coldplug ntfsutils busybox... |
| 51 |
9. exit |
| 52 |
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 53 |
10. Create "small" (32MB) ext2-filesytem on flat file "rootfs,ext2" |
| 54 |
11. mount "rootfs.ext2" using "-o loop" |
| 55 |
12. Copy all relevant files and folders from "rootfs/" to mounted "rootfs.ext2" |
| 56 |
13. gzip "rootfs.ext2" |
| 57 |
14. copy "rootfs.ext2.gz" and "bzImage" (gerneric i386-kernel) to my |
| 58 |
PXE-Server (fli4l) and add a boot menu entry (PXEGRUB, menu.1st) |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Maybe it's a better idea to emerge "gentoo-dev-sources" while "chroot"-ed |
| 61 |
and build the kernel. |
