Dear all, |
2 |
In the past I had a non UEFI motherboard setup for my Gentoo machine. |
3 |
The motherboard started failing so I took the opportunity to replace the |
4 |
motherboard & CPU and also to buy a new SSD thingy to become the home of |
5 |
my Gentoo install. |
6 |
|
7 |
I'm currently running, on a day to day basis, the older hard disk, on |
8 |
the new motherboard, but want to speed up the process of getting the new |
9 |
SSD set up so I can swap over. Rather than booting into the SSD, |
10 |
starting an emerge, and walking away, in other words, making my machine |
11 |
useless for any number of hours, am I correct that there is no problem, |
12 |
vis a vis, old hard disk built on non UEFI machine Vs new SSD built on |
13 |
UEFI machine, of chrooting[1] from the old environment into new |
14 |
environment and doing the building whilst I"m doing something productive |
15 |
within the old environment? |
16 |
|
17 |
I just have this little niggling doubt, probably baseless, in the back |
18 |
of my mind that there maybe something that may cause a problem for the |
19 |
newly built stuff due to it not being natively booted in UEFI or |
20 |
something like that when it was built. |
21 |
|
22 |
Anyone built their new machines like this who can allay my, probably |
23 |
baseless, fears? |
24 |
|
25 |
Thanks, |
26 |
Andrew |
