In preparation for the upcoming "upgrade" to gnome3, I've installed |
2 |
the latest gentoo snapshot to a new virtualbox machine. (So I can |
3 |
trash my virtual gentoo machine instead of my real gentoo machine :) |
4 |
|
5 |
The virtual install went perfectly AFAICT, except for building a new |
6 |
customized kernel for the gentoo virtualbox machine. |
7 |
|
8 |
Here's what I did to configure my new customized gentoo kernel: |
9 |
|
10 |
I booted the gentoo install iso image in virtualbox and did lspci -k |
11 |
and wrote down all the drivers it displayed. |
12 |
|
13 |
I also booted my virtualbox ubuntu machine and did lspci -k and again |
14 |
wrote down all the listed drivers. (Only one extra driver showed up |
15 |
in ubuntu and I included it in my list of drivers to-be-installed.) |
16 |
|
17 |
I configured my new gentoo custom kernel to use all of the drivers I'd |
18 |
gathered from the steps above, and compiled and installed it without |
19 |
any problems. |
20 |
|
21 |
However, when I reboot the virtual gentoo guest machine with my new |
22 |
customized kernel, the boot hangs forever after discovering devices |
23 |
and mounting the root partition.ro. |
24 |
|
25 |
Obviously I've configured my custom kernel incorrectly, but how? |
26 |
|
27 |
If any of you have virtualbox guest gentoo machines running with a |
28 |
custom kernel, would you please post your guest .config file for my |
29 |
edification? |

Many thanks! |
