UPDATE, Tilaa now have Native Gentoo Support starting from August, so no need to follow this method as updated in the comments.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, i ordered a VPS from Tilaa.nl<\/a> for testing, they use KVM Virtualization, IPv6 support and prices are good, also traceroute to middle east seems to be better than other locations, so that pushed me to test.., but suddenly they didn’t support Gentoo, after contacting the support, they seems will support Gentoo Next couple of months, anyway i like to use Gentoo, so i wrote the following steps to get Gentoo Installed and Running at your VPS @Tilaa.nl<\/a> …<\/p>\n

First, we need to resize the current disk to install gentoo in a new partition, i used to compile gentoo kernel with support for virtio modules to get network, after that, i add resize2fs, fdisk commands to initramfs with the modules need to get the disk and network, in this way, i just need to boot to this kernel and resize the current big root partition which i can’t shrink while using it!, you can download them from the following links:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/sqawasmi.com\/files-mix\/kernel-kvm-tilaa-shaker-x86_64-2.6.34-hardened-r6<\/a>
\nhttp:\/\/sqawasmi.com\/files-mix\/initramfs-kvm-tilaa-shaker-RESIZE-DISK3.gz<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NOTE: This steps works for me, There is no guarantee that this steps will work with you, you may Lose all of your VPS Data, use this steps on your responsibility..
\nNOTE: IF you are not familiar with shrinking ext3, then i suggest to stop reading!, the following tutorial may help: http:\/\/www.howtoforge.com\/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

* after downloading them to your VPS, follow the following steps..
\n* cp kernel\/initramfs to current distro \/boot\/<\/p>\n

cp kernel-kvm-tilaa-shaker-x86_64-2.6.34-hardened-r6\u00a0 \/boot\/
\ncp initramfs-kvm-tilaa-shaker-RESIZE-DISK3.gz \/boot\/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* then edit \/boot\/grub\/menu.lst to add the following<\/p>\n

title Gentoo Install
\nroot (hd0,0)
\nkernel \/boot\/kernel-kvm-tilaa-shaker-x86_64-2.6.34-hardened-r6 ro root=LABEL=\/notexist console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 notsc divider=10
\ninitrd \/boot\/initramfs-kvm-tilaa-shaker-RESIZE-DISK3.gz<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* From tilaa Dashboard, browse to your VPS and open the VPS serial console, after that do a reboot for the VPS from CLI:<\/p>\n

[root@m1 ~]# reboot<\/p>\n

Broadcast message from root (pts\/0) (Tue Dec 14 19:12:39 2010):<\/p>\n

The system is going down for reboot NOW!
\n[root@m1 ~]# Connection to 46.19.32.39 closed by remote host.
\nConnection to 46.19.32.39 closed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* Now, at the console window, choose Gentoo Install (or the name you wrote in grub as title for Gentoo Boot), after the kernel boot, you should get the following message:<\/p>\n

!! Could not find the root block device in LABEL=\/notexist.
\nPlease specify another value or: press Enter for the same, type “shell” for a shell, or “q” to skip…
\nroot block device(LABEL=\/notexist) ::<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* so just type shell and hit enter to use shell, here we will start the resizing (i resized root partition to 3G, leaving the rest for Gentoo):<\/p>\n

\n!! Could not find the root block device in .

**** Note what i colored by red: 786432 (4k) blocks — you will use this to do the correct fdisk or you will lose your system!, the output in your case should be different from mine, so copy the number of blocks\u00a0 that you got because you will use them in calculating the new size later, if you didn’t do that, then i suspect that you will lost the system..<\/span><\/p>\n

* Now shutdown your VPS from tilaa website and start it again to boot into your old Distro.. (it may take a little of time to shutdown\/start)
\n* Ok, if you are lucky (seems i was) you will get your old distro, login to it through ssh, now you need to do the main part, fdisk:<\/p>\n

* I use distcc, that will reduce the time used to compile packages by distributing compilation over other servers, at my VPS i allowed all 10.0.0.0\/8 network to use my server as distcc to help them finish the compilation (btw, as of this writing, you should use gcc-4.4.X becuase that what i use at my distcc server), if you wanna use my VPS, then do the following or you can skip this if you don’t need my VPS support..:<\/p>\n

m1 – chroot \/ # USE=’-*’ emerge –nodeps sys-devel\/distcc
\nm1 – chroot \/ # distcc-config –set-hosts “10.0.0.252”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* Finally, i install vim and openssh and configure the network so it be accessible after reboot (i continue the installation of Gentoo from Gentoo itself!):<\/p>\n

m1 – chroot \/ # emerge vim openssh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* Run openssh at boot:<\/p>\n

m1 – chroot \/ # rc-update add sshd\u00a0 default<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* Uncomment s0:12345:respawn:\/sbin\/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 in \/etc\/inittab\u00a0\u00a0 to get Console access.<\/p>\n

* Add Your IP and Gateway to \/etc\/conf.d\/net ,, i have the following, change IPs to yours:<\/p>\n

modules=( “ifconfig” )<\/p>\n

config_eth0=(

* Add a root password..<\/p>\n

* Add a correct \/etc\/fstab file, simply i used to copy it from my current Distro (CentOS) and changing LABEL=\/ to \/dev\/vda2 , the following is mine:<\/p>\n

*** Finally don’t forget to edit Grub and have your Gentoo listed, i have the following:<\/p>\n

title Gentoo
\nroot (hd0,0)
\nkernel \/boot\/kernel-kvm-tilaa-shaker-x86_64-2.6.34-hardened-r6 ro root=\/dev\/vda2 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 notsc divider=10
\ninitrd \/boot\/initramfs-kvm-tilaa-shaker-RESIZE-DISK3.gz<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* Open the Console & Reboot..
\n* after logging to the server through ssh, activate eth1 by your private IP, i used the following command:<\/p>\n

ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.252 netmask 255.0.0.0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* Continue Installation for gentoo just as the manual & Have Fun!<\/p>\n
