Re: [gentoo-user] mirrorselect build failed
Hi Michael, -march=x86-64 and -mtune=generic will not speed up your OS installation. These flags tell compilers to produce binaries that can run on any AMD64 system and that aren't optimized for your specific system. These flags have no effect on binary packages, since those have already been compiled. If you want to speed up packages you compile yourself, you should use -march=native. This is all well documented at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GCC_optimization. In order to use binary packages that have been optimized for more modern systems, see https://www.gentoo.org/news/2024/02/04/x86-64-v3.html.

Re: [gentoo-user] mirrorselect build failed
Hi Jude, When the build failed, emerge asked you post 3 things when you need support. Of those, you've managed to omit the most important thing, i.e. the build log. Without it, it would be impossible to help you.

Re: [gentoo-user] Using the new binpkgs
If you add --ask --verbose, Portage should tell you why it's falling back to the source package. Does your emerge command include --getbinpkg, or -g?

Re: [gentoo-user] Resizing boot partition while dual-booting
Hi Vit I presume you plan to have a single boot partition that will contain your bootloader, kernel and initramfs. There are actually two kinds of boot partitions that are commonly used together: 1. The EFI system partition (ESP) contains Linux and Windows's bootloaders. It's formatted as FAT. 2. The extended boot (XBOOTLDR) partition contains kernels, initramfs's and microcode. It's formatted as anything the bootloader supports (GRUB supports FAT, ext4 and more). If you have a single boot partition, you're actually just combining the above two. If you want to create more room, you can split it: 1. Shrink your Linux partition to create space for the extended boot partition. You can GParted from another system or bootable USB. 2. Create and format the extended boot partition. 3. Modify /etc/fstab so the ESP gets mounted at /efi and the XBOOTLDR gets mounted at /boot. 4. Mount these two partitions. 5. If this is an existing install, move the kernel, initramfs and microcode from /efi to /boot. Otherwise, install the bootloader and the kernel. 6. Re-configure your bootloader (e.g. `grub-mkconfig -o /efi/grub/grub.cfg`). Now the large kernel and initramfs files don't take up space on the ESP that's being shared with Windows. Alternatively, just resize the ESP. However, that breaks Windows's bootloader since the starting point of the C:\ partition moved, so you need to fix it from a Windows setup USB using bootrec. I can't help you with that. Waldo On Wed, Apr 3, 2024 at 5:38 PM Vít Smolík wrote: > Do you store your initramfs on the 100mb partition?
