One of the fastest today (look at various Phoronix benchmarks on non-SSD disks).Ī very good alternative in terms of speed and reliability is XFS. I chose ext4 for the filesystem because it's still The existing EFI partition is actually empty, but don't remove it! Used fdisk to fix the partition typesĪgain (83 and 82). Rebooted and let rEFIt sync the EFI partition table (GPT). Then I created a Linux partition and a Linux Swap partition. In the live CD use fdisk to partition your hard drive. rEFIt will come up and let you choose to boot from theĬD. I recommend the SystemRescueCD to install Gentoo or do any Gentoo maintenance work. I even have the impression that the 64bit Gentoo is faster filesystem wise.Īs for boot CDs: the Gentoo minimal boot CD is not the best. Today 64bit code is often more tested and more stable than 32bit code. In December 2011 I reinstalled using the x86_64 GentooĪrchitecture.

It does nothing: The BIOS emulation is part of your Mac's firmware.ĭownloaded and burnt the Gentoo Live CD for x86 i686 (32 bit). Helps with resizing your OS-X partition to make room for the Linux partitions. As I never use OS-X I told rEFIt toīoot Linux by default, by setting the legacyfirst option inĭownloaded and installed BootCamp. Just select the OS-X partition as the boot disk in OS-X. If you want to directly boot into OS-X without rEFIt, It shows a boot menu that allows to boot other operating systems REFIt is nothing more than an EFI extension/module. It probably won't work.įirst I booted into OS-X. So currently don't bother with a pure EFI installation. Some drivers still rely on BIOS calls (graphics!). It also provides the BIOS calls for Linux.ĭecent EFI support is in process of being implemented into Linux since kernel 3.1 onwards only. In contrast to BIOS, a portion of EFI is installed on a partition on the They have an alternative bootįirmware called EFI.
