Hi
<gully>
thought i finally had everything installed right..blank screen after reboot lol
<Rohan>
gully: this was VM or you hardware?
<gully>
hardware
<sad_plan>
probably missing gpu drivers. did you build them into the kernel? not as a module
<sad_plan>
missing or wrong
<sad_plan>
or framebuffer drivers
<gully>
great question, this is the first time ive ever built a kernel so most likely missed them
<gully>
also its a chromebook so
<sad_plan>
first time is the hardest
<gully>
may have bitten off more than i can chew lol
<sad_plan>
ah. nice to see someone trying it on different kinds of hardware though
<gully>
yeah i got arch working, found kiss while looking around at arch stuff
<Rohan>
maybe is drivers like sad_plan said
<gully>
figured id go for it
<Rohan>
if you wanna a good guide for kernel compiling
<Rohan>
look at gentoo wiki
<Rohan>
maybe you found some good info
<gully>
ill check it out thx
<Rohan>
what are you hardware?
<Rohan>
intel or amd?
<sad_plan>
chroot into the kiss partition from arch, and compare modules. its a nifty command. I just cant recall whats its called. lemme check
<sad_plan>
make allyesconfig
<sad_plan>
run it inside the kernel dir
<gully>
oh sick
<sad_plan>
and itll show you all the modules that your current kernel (being arch in this case) has loaded up
<gully>
its an asus cx22na, intel n3350
<gully>
cool ill try that
<sad_plan>
its really helpfull imo. as it gives you a reference. also do remember to check if you need to add aditional firmware from linux-firmware. gentoo wiki might help you there
<sad_plan>
I gonna guess that your hardware is not supported nativly in the linux kernel, so additional firmware is likely needed
<gully>
yeah the firmware blobs are for all kinds of shit right? i couldnt really find a good summary of what to pick out in there to copy over
<sad_plan>
yep. gpu, bluetooth, wireless. all kinds of stuff. but to be able to boot, you only need the gpu ones atleast
<sad_plan>
if youre refering to make allyesconfig, it just lists the loaded modules. search for them when running make menuconfig
<gully>
gotcha
<gully>
oh yeah, how do i find out if i need initramfs?
<sad_plan>
you only need it if you wanna use loadable modules. most of us dont use it, but some of us may wish to use it, for whatever reason
<sad_plan>
i.e. if you wanna load up you bluetooth module(s) when you need them, instead of having them built into the kernel.

unless you have a really special case in which you specifically need to unload/load modules, I wouldnt bother at all. its just extra stuff for you to figure out
<gully>
ahh i see, makes sense now
<gully>
yeah i was def trying to do it the 'baked in' way
<sad_plan>
its much simpler to do it that way. just click yes, and youre set with said driver :p
<gully>
i was gonna try on a thinkpad first but it the one i got from ebay is nasty as hell
<gully>
gotta deep clean it first
<sad_plan>
bummer
<sad_plan>
in any case, thinkpads can run off of defconfig kernels iirc, so not much is need to make it bootable
<gully>
nice
<sad_plan>
some of them you may just need an additional driver for the wifi. its usually the case anyway
