## Notes
I ended up slowing down and taking a while to fully explore all the options in building a Gentoo system on my Pixel.  This included me reinstalling from scratch multiple times and learning along the way.  This final product is a Pixel install with a 3.12.8 kernel, with the /,/home, and swap partitions sitting in a LVM encrypted with LUKS.  Follow through and you will be able to get the same.  Also, this install uses the SystemRescueCD (which is based on Gentoo).

## Paritioning Drives
Since we are using a SSD for the install, GPT is recommended, which complicates things a tad bit.
Using parted, we have to create 3 partitions, the grub-bios partition, /boot, and the 3rd for the LVM.  The grub-bios partition is 2MB, the /boot is 512MB (for multiple kernels), and the LVM will be the rest of the drive.

```bash
parted -a optimal /dev/sda
mklabel gpt
(parted) unit mib
(parted) mkpart primary 1 3
(parted) name 1 grub
(parted) set 1 bios_grub on
(parted) print
(parted) mkpart primary 3 515
(parted) name 2 boot
(parted) mkpart primary 515 -1
(parted) name 3 rootfs
```

## Encrypting and Creating LVM/File Systems
Encrypt /dev/sda3, mount it and create the LVM

```bash
cryptsetup -y --cipher aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 --key-size 256 luksFormat /dev/sda3
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 rootfs
pvcreate /dev/mapper/rootfs
lvcreate -L1024m -nswap rootfs
lvcreate -L20480m -nroot rootfs
lvcreate -l 100%FREE home rootfs
```

Create file systems on the multiple logical volumes you've created and mount them to their proper locations:
```bash
mkswap -L SWAP /dev/mapper/rootfs-swap
swapon /dev/mapper/rootfs-swap
mkfs.ext4 -j /dev/mapper/rootfs-root -L ROOT
mount /dev/mapper/rootfs-root /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/home
mkfs.ext4 -j /dev/mapper/rootfs-home -L HOME
mount /dev/mapper/rootfs-home /mnt/gentoo/home
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mkfs.ext4 -j /dev/sda2 -L BOOT
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot
```

## Download Gentoo Stage3 tarball
Change directories into /mnt/gentoo, download the stage3 and extract it.  Copy over resolv.conf
```bash
cd /mnt/gentoo
elinks http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirror.xml
tar xvjpf stage3-.tar.bz2
cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
```

## Prepare Portage
```bash
nano /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/make.conf
  CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe"
  MAKEOPTS="-j2"
  mirrorselect -i -o >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/make.conf
  mirrorselect -i -r -o >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/make.conf
```

## Mount Virtual Filesystems
```bash
mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
```

## Chroot into your new system
```bash
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
```

## Initialize Portage
```bash
emerge-webrsync
emerge --sync
```

## Set up localization information
```bash
echo "Continent/Country" > /etc/timezone
emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data
nano -w /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen
eselect locale list
eselect locale set # Your locale here
env-update && source /etc/profile
```

## Notes
At this point I like to install a few apps I use, that way I won't have to worry about them later.  I'd recommend installing vim, NetworkManager (for nmcli), and really anything else you expect to use.  I also wanted to use systemd, so I had to prep for that. That includes installing udev with -systemd in make.conf, the installing systemd (obviously remove the - after installing udev), and then uninstalling udev, since systemd provides virtual/udev.

## Kernel Setup
```bash
  echo "=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.12.8" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
  emerge gentoo-sources genkernel-next lvm2 cryptsetup grub vim
```

(As a side note, genkernel-next is required for a systemd install to include udev in the kernel)
```bash
vim /etc/genkernel.conf
  LVM="yes"
  LUKS="yes"
  BUSYBOX="yes"
  MENUCONFIG="yes"
  DISKLABEL="yes"
```

## Create the kernel
```bash
genkernel --udev all
```
Remember to enable support for crypto devices in the kernel, along with anything else you may need/want.
```
  Device Drivers
    Multi-device support (RAID and LVM)
      [*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM)
        <*>  Device mapper support
        <*>  Crypt target support

  Cryptographic API 
    <*>  SHA256 digest algorithm
    <*>  AES cipher algorithms
```

## Installing grub2
```bash
vim /etc/default/grub
  GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Gentoo"
  GRUB_DEFAULT=0
  GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
  GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
  GRUB_TIMEOUT=3
  GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES=lvm
  GRUB_CRYPTODISK_ENABLE=y
  GRUB_DEVICE=/dev/sda1
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="real_init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd quiet real_root=/dev/mapper/rootfs-root crypt_root=/dev/sda3 dolvm"
grub2-install --modules="configfile linux crypto search_fs_uuid luks lvm" --recheck /dev/sda
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
```
Reboot the machine and you should have a working Gentoo install on your Google Pixel!
