grab the latest stage 3 build
cd /data/ISO-IMAGES/ wget https://bouncer.gentoo.org/fetch/root/all/releases/amd64/autobuilds/20210428T214503Z/stage3-amd64-20210428T214503Z.tar.xz
prepare and mount the virtual disk
mkdir -p /data/guests/gentoo/lala/ cd /data/guests/gentoo/ #dd if=/dev/zero of=gentoo.ext4 bs=1G count=0 seek=10 #mkfs.ext4 gentoo.ext4 #mount -o loop,rw gentoo.ext4 lala/ dd if=/dev/zero of=gentoo.reiser4 bs=1G count=0 seek=10 mkfs.reiser4 --yes --force gentoo.reiser4 mount -o loop,rw gentoo.reiser4 lala/
deploy the base system
tar xJpf /data/ISO-IMAGES/stage3-amd64-20210428T214503Z.tar.xz --xattrs-include='*.*' --numeric-owner -C lala/
mv -i lala/etc/fstab lala/etc/fstab.dist vi lala/etc/fstab #/dev/xvda1 / ext4 noatime 0 1 /dev/xvda1 / reiser4 noatime 0 1 cp -pi lala/etc/inittab lala/etc/inittab.dist vi lala/etc/inittab s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty --noclear -L 115200 hvc0 linux chroot lala/ passwd --delete --unlock root chroot lala/ rc-update show default | grep netmount chroot lala/ rc-update -a del netmount
We’re enabling TMEM
mkdir lala/lib/modules/ file /data/kernels/vmlinuz tar xvzf /data/kernels/lib.modules.5.2.14.domureiser4.tar.gz -C lala/lib/modules/ mkdir lala/etc/modules-load.d/ echo tmem > lala/etc/modules-load.d/tmem.conf
umount lala/ rmdir lala/ vi gentoo kernel = "/data/kernels/vmlinuz" root = "/dev/xvda1 ro console=hvc0 mitigations=off" memory = 7168 name = "gentoo" vcpus = 16 maxvcpus = 16 disk = ['file:/data/guests/gentoo/gentoo.reiser4,xvda1,w'] vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0, vifname=gentoo.0' ] xl create gentoo -c
And within the guest, eventually grab and deploy the latest portage snapshot
wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/snapshots/portage-latest.tar.xz tar xJf portage-latest.tar.xz -C /usr/
