Install Gentoo in Vmware virtual machines

Today spent a whole day in the virtual machine installed a Gentoo, because it is a colleague's computer, you can only install in the virtual machine, but in the virtual machine installation Gentoo is really looking for abuse ah, trouble, as the physical machine installed smoothly.

Where to look.

Configuration of/etc/make.conf

video_cards= "VMware VESA VGA"

input_devices= "Evdev Keyboard mouse Vmmouse"

Use mark yourself to mark as needed

These other things might are useful for udev. Note:ifyour kernel has problems mounting udev, you could need to emergesys-apps/portage, sys-fs/baselayout, and Sys-fs/udev To their most currentstable versions.

Linux Kernel Configuration: udev Support

File Systems---> Pseudo filesystems---> -*-/proc File system support < >/proc/kcore Support <*> Virtual Memory File system support (former SHM FS)

Code 1.1: Establish a symbolic connection Net.eth0 point to Net.lo

# cd/etc/init.d # ln-s Net.lo net.eth0

Code 1.3: Start and stop network scripts

#/etc/init.d/net.eth0 Start #/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop

Code 1.4: Configure the network interface to load it at boot time

# rc-update Add net.eth0 default # RC

Installation of Xorg-server

may be black screen

Solutions

Need to add in xorg.conf.new section "Serverlayout"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
To disable this feature now don't xorg-config ~/xorg.conf.new-retro

Online is said Xorg-config ~/xorg.conf.new-retro
, but I have no effect, and my things must be put to cp/root/xorg.conf.new/etc/x11/xorg.conf, only to do

The manual says to download the following two, but he did not, the same success

LiveCD CONF.D # emerge DHCPCD (if you use a DHCP client)

LiveCD CONF.D # emerge PPP (if using PPPoE ADSL connection)

Code 4.1: Modify the screen paragraph in/etc/x11/xorg.conf

Section ' Screen ' Identifier ' Default screen ' Device ' S3 Inc prosavage KN133 [twister K] ' Monitor "Generic Monitor" Defaultdepth # for easy searching and reading please skip some content subsection "Display" Depth Modes " 1024x768 " endsubsection endsection

Run X (STARTX) to see if it enables the resolution you need:)

Code 4.2: Changing the keyboard layout

section "InputDevice" Identifier " Generic keyboard" Driver " keyboard" option " Corekeyboard " option" xkbrules " " xorg " option " XkbModel " " pc105 " option " Xkblayout "Be" endsection

Code 4.4: Changing the mouse settings in xorg

section "InputDevice" Identifier " TouchPad Mouse" Driver " Mouse" option " Corepointer " option" Device " "/dev/input/mouse0 " option " Protocol "" imps/2 " option "zaxismapping" "4 5" endsection

And then it's OK, ... Go to bed
