Gentoo on MacBook Pro(MD318, 15inch, late 2011)
Cheers, finally I made it, the Gentoo back to work on my MacBook Pro.
I have spent several days to make the Gentoo back, because previous it works, but after one update whatever, it can't start the X.
The biggest problems I met is
- Hard Disk IO bug, the M4 SSD need upgrade the firmware
- The init system has changed from OpenRC to Systemd.
- Can't start X(startx, Xorg -configure, X -configure, aticonfig –initial) doesn't work
So you can image how difficult it is to fix all the problems, because
- The MacBook Pro doesn't support the usb bootable device
- I don't have DVD ROM, because I have replaced it with one Hard Disk.
- Sometimes the keyboard doesn't work for X and kernel problems.
- I don't aware the difference between OpenRC and Systemd
Upgrade the M4 SSD firmware
- Download the firmware from the official website
- Get the BOOT2880.IMG from the iso file
- Downloa
