Installing Gentoo Linux on Pinebook Pro
Here is Arwen's guide to installing Gentoo Linux on a Pinebook Pro. It's a work in progress, so this is not designed for end users.
Goals:
- Gentoo Linux on ARMv8 / 64 bit
- Initial RAM disk on "/boot"
- OpenZFS version 7.13, or >=0.8.3
- OpenZFS used for root pool & data pool, (but perhaps not for "/boot" or swap)
- Support both Suspend to RAM and Hibernate to disk. Ideally support Hybrid-Suspend which will convert a Suspend to RAM into a Hibernate to disk, after a timeout.
- Encrypted swap
- Allow for encrypting root pool, (which needs prompting for passphrase in InitRD)
- Allow for mirroring "/boot", swap & root pool to second device, (NVMEe)
Pre-requisits:
- Have a bootable OS of Unix type, preferable Linux
- There must be a place you can install Gentoo Linux, like another disk partition or MicroSD card
- After installation, the boot process must allow you to boot off the newly installed Gentoo Linux. For example, using a MicroSD card which takes boot priority over the eMMC.
