2 years ago Hey there @LazzaroneS! Sorry for the late reply. It seems that this repo has been taken off the gentoo repository list due to me having missed a few pings from the gentoo org about some issues with the packages. If you still want to I can guide you through the manual method of getting the kernel installed. Also please tell me what device you’re using.

1 year ago Thanks for your time, @parinzee. I'm eager to get your help. But I'm not quite sure what hardware information I need to provide, I used all the commands I know to view device information and filtered out the following information, I hope it's the device information which you need me tell you.

1 year ago I have run into the same problem as well, with neither eselect-repository nor layman unable to find the repository. I would appreciate a guide to manually prepare the kernel.
Thank you in advance.

1 year ago Hello everyone sorry for the late reply. I've been quite busy this week.
@LazzaroneS that information will do, thanks! So the idea is that we will be compiling the kernel so you can go ahead and emerge the latest kernel sources like you would in a normal gentoo installation (see here for more info https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Installing_the_sources). After that we will be patching the sources with the linux-surface patches. To do that, clone the repo down:
cd /usr/src/ && git clone https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface.git
then cd into the kernel folder (cd linux) and then depending on what version you're using, apply the patches for those version by doing:
for i in ~/linux-surface/patches/[VERSION]/*.patch; do patch -p1 < $i; done
After that you can go ahead and configure the kernel as I did in the video. Finally download my kernel config (like in the video) and run the make menuconfig. However since the config is a bit old, you may have to manually update some parts of it. I don't specifically know what options you will be presented with, but I am happy to assist everyone.
PS: After you've manually updated some parts of the kernel ensure that these options are selected:
Processor type and features --->
[*] EFI runtime service support
[*] EFI stub support
Device Drivers --->
<*> NVM Express block device
[*] Network device support --->
[*] Wireless LAN --->
[*] Marvell devices
[M] Marvell WiFi-Ex Driver
[M] Marvell WiFi-Ex Driver for PCIE 8766/8897/8997
[*] USB support --->
<*> xHCI HCD (USB 3.0) supportsorry for those stupid questions. after actually switching to gentoo as a daily driver on another device, every command makes sense now. i'm trying again right now on my surface since i'm in love with gentoo. one question: if i do this, can i use kernel 6.0?
I've got my Surface running Gentoo with kernel 6.0.9! Thanks for your support, @parinzee!

|Subject: [PATCH] (surface3-oemb) add DMI matches for Surface 3 with broken DMI
| table
|
|On some Surface 3, the DMI table gets corrupted for unknown reasons
|and breaks existing DMI matching used for device-specific quirks.
|
|This commit adds the (broken) DMI data into dmi_system_id tables used
|for quirks so that each driver can enable quirks even on the affected
|systems.
|
|On affected systems, DMI data will look like this:
| $ grep . /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/{bios_vendor,board_name,board_vendor,\
| chassis_vendor,product_name,sys_vendor}
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_vendor:American Megatrends Inc.
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name:OEMB
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_vendor:OEMB
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_vendor:OEMB
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name:OEMB
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/sys_vendor:OEMB
|
|Expected:
| $ grep . /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/{bios_vendor,board_name,board_vendor,\
| chassis_vendor,product_name,sys_vendor}
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_vendor:American Megatrends Inc.
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name:Surface 3
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_vendor:Microsoft Corporation
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_vendor:Microsoft Corporation
| /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name:Surface 3

1 year ago I found that many of the Surface-specific drivers need to be configured in the .config file, so I tried to recompile the kernel using the .config file you (@parinzee ) provided, and it failed to compile

However from the log you provided, I'm not sure which file has failed to patch. If that patch doesn't relate to your device I think you can remove it.

1 year ago For now, I'll attempt to find a version that doesn't overlap with the patchset for you @LazzaroneS!
And congratulations on getting the install to work! It took me over 2 weeks and 10 tries to get mine working for the first time lol (and the internet didn't even worked)

Your friendly help has given me great encouragement, I find I like open source communities more than before. 😃 Thank you again for your time!
