Subject: [gentoo-user] About vbox vm kernel config
Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2014 23:15:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878ukzi2lo.fsf@reader.local.lan> (raw)
I want to install gentoo as guest with VirtualBox. Host is windows 7.
In the past I've lost lots of time doing this: Getting the right
drivers into the kernel build.
My equipment is nothing weird... a Sager NP8760 Laptop with an older
i7 and 8GB ram.
I wondered if anyone can offer a `.config' for a very recent kernel or
at least not ancient that they know will build a bootable (in the env
mentinoed above) kernel.
I've been off this list for many months, but have spent yrs
here... recently been running debian but spent something like 7-8 yrs
on gentoo.
Anything that might ease the process of building a functional setup as
vbox guest would be most welcome here.
