Install Gentoo in VMware and precautions

Generally, follow the Official Handbook (English version) to install it. Pay attention to the following points:

(1) If the default SCSI is used for the Virtual Disk type, you need to add the following modules during kernel compilation (directly compile them into the kernel [*]).

--> Device drivers --> SCSI device support --> <*> SCSI disk support --> device drivers --> SCSI device support --> SCSI low-level drivers --> <*> buslogic SCI support --> flashpoint support --> device drivers --> fusion MPT device support --> all --> device drivers --> USB support --> <*> USB Mass Storage support --> Device Drivers --> networking support --> Ethernet Driver Support (new) --> <*> amd pcnet32 PCI support drivers> device drivers ---> SCSI device support ---> <*> SCSI Device Support <*> SCSI disk support SCSI low-level drivers ---> <*> sym53c8xx version 2 SCSI support using device drivers ---> SCSI device support ---> <*> SCSI Device Support <*> SCSI disk support SCSI low-level drivers ---> <*> buslogic SCSI Support Groups> bus options (pCI etc .) ---> [*] PCI support [*] ISA support

(2) localized Chinese support:

# Nano-W/etc/locale. gen

Add the following lines

en_US  ISO-8859-1en_US.UTF-8  UTF-8zh_CN  GB18030zh_CN.GBK  GBKzh_CN.GB2312  GB2312zh_CN.UTF-8  UTF-8

# Nano-W/etc/02 locale

Add the following lines

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8"LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"

(3) After the installation is complete and restarted, ifonfig does not have eth0?

Here, the network interface name is changed. eth0-> enp2s1 (/etc/init. d/dhcpcd start and then ifconfig to see it)

1. Delete the original connection # rm/etc/init. d/net. eth0

2. Rebuild the connection # ln-s net. Lo net. enp2s1

3. reconfigure the network port name # nano-W/etc/CONF. d/NET config_eth0 = "DHCP"-> config_enp2s1 = "DHCP"

4. Reboot. If you have set the Automatic startup of dhcpcd, ifconfig will see it.

Enjoy your Gentoo!
