Dear gentoo-embedded list members, |
2 |
|
3 |
I try to get gentoo installed on the openmoko freerunner phone, |
4 |
following the instruction at |
5 |
http://gentoo.mindzoo.de/index.cgi/wiki/native-compiling . |
6 |
(Last post on this prj page is about a year ago, but I still hoped to |
7 |
get it running.) |
8 |
|
9 |
I manged to: |
10 |
+ fdisk the microSD card |
11 |
+ format the root partition |
12 |
+ format the swap partition |
13 |
+ download the latest stage3 tarball and extract it on the root partition |
14 |
+ download the latest portage tree and extract i to the root partition |
15 |
+ set zoneinfo |
16 |
+ set host name |
17 |
+ uncomment unnecessary terminal in /ect/fstab |
18 |
+ set locale-gen in inittab |
19 |
+ chroot to the system |
20 |
+ update environment (source /etc/profile && env-update) |
21 |
+ set root passwd |
22 |
+ enable sshd on startup (rc-update add sshd default) |
23 |
+ set up usb networking (http://gentoo.mindzoo.de/index.cgi/wiki/USB_Networking) |
24 |
+ remove consolefont from boot runlevel |
25 |
|
26 |
But now, by trying to installing layman (to choose a profile) I run |
27 |
into troubles: |
28 |
If I try to emerge layman on the chrooted environment the phone can |
29 |
not get an working internet connection. |
30 |
Am I supposed to have a working internet connection? |
31 |
I tried ping from the chrooted environment: |
32 |
ping gentoo.org |
33 |
ping: unknown host gentoo.org |
34 |
|
35 |
At the moment the phone have the latest version of shr installed. |
36 |
I can start wi-fi over "Iliwi" in shr. according to the message on the |
37 |
screen get wifi CONNECTED. |
38 |
how ever, if i try to ping from the non chrooted environment I get this: |
39 |
ping gentoo.org |
40 |
ping: bad address 'gentoo.org' |
41 |
|
42 |
The latest I tried: I plugged the microSD card into my desktop, where |
43 |
I tied to chroot to the environment. Without success. (Which somehow |
44 |
makes sense to me, since the kernel on the microSD card is not packed |
45 |
for the desktop hardware. But I am not sure if I am right.) |
46 |
|
47 |
So this two question remains: |
48 |
Do I need internet access on the phone (over wifi or the simcard) to |
49 |
be able to finish the gentoo installation? |
50 |
How can I install layman, that i can choose a profiles for openmoko? |
51 |
|
52 |
I'm grateful for any hints. |
53 |
So long, Elmar |
