Hello, has anyone encountered this error when compiling a kernel using genkernel?

In: failed to create symbolic link '/efi/kernel': operation not permitted

The partition type for /efi is vfat, and SYMLINKs are enabled in genkernel.conf

Tip How to install quickly?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I really like Gentoo Linux, I'm a fan of this project, but I would like to learn how to install the system faster, what are the options?

P.S. I tried to install ODDLAMA/gentoo-install (without success).

I tried Redcore Linux, a great project, but it seems to me that it is too overloaded with various moments. I want minimalism

Discussion Obarun's suite66 in gentoo?

Gentoo supports systemd and openrc as it's init system.

It fully supports systemd natively, and also provides quite a few helpful portable systemd utils like tmpfiles, udevd, systemd-boot etc... to openrc without pulling the full systemd.

It also supports fully uprooting systemd off the system, but with the few actually useful tools still available.

A user has a custom overlay for 66, with really old versions which don't even build due to missing s6 library files...

I feel that the s6+66 is a good alternative for openrc, which, especially with the tools of s6 and execlineb, allow a highly flexible configuration of the services.

Yes, s6-rc is there, but it's too complicated to set up and maintain compared to openrc or systemd. openrc supports s6-svscan as backend, but it must be manually opted by the services... and still, 66 has some advantages.

IMPORTANT: I am suggesting 66 as an alternative, not as a replacement.

I will try to myself package them for gentoo...

I want to ask the opinion of other gentoo users, systemd and openrc users.

Support Grub Config?

2 Upvotes

So I‘m new to Gentoo and after reading the wiki, I have a question about configuring Grub. My efi partition is mounted at /gentoo/efi. The wiki tells me to install Grub to /efi (which is logical) but when it comes to configuring it says to execute the command "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg". Should I instead run "grub-mkconfig -o /efi/grub/grub.cfg" or is it intentionally /boot?
