Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... no
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,7) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu
.lst "... failed

Error 22: No such partition

grub>

Do you know how to fix it???
THX
PS :I don't want it to be my main bootloader ....

Hello,
Are you sure you have the patition commands right in grub?
hda1=hd0,0
hda5=hd0,4
and up from there?

The linus from scratch partition is:/dev/hda8
I think I got that rigth...
Whats this e2fs... stage???

if you follow the book, it does mention about additional stages...

post YOUR /boot/grub/menu.lst

we can help better if can we see what, should/should not be there............

post your /etc/fstab also.............

Honestly I don't think you need the stages1_5 file. I am not entirely sure what it does but I was able to get a working system without it.

As for the partition. IF your lfs system is on /dev/hda8 then your file will be setup (hd0,7) is right. I would double check.
run fdisk /dev/hda and hit p for print.

Also you might wanna see if your lfs partition is below the 1024 cylinder range. I think it should work above but my system failed misserably like that.

You could also try booting with a rescue disk or a distro CD (Slackware works awesome). If that doesn't boot it then grub won't be able to either. Maybe you have a hard drive issue.

Hey guy THX for the help but I managed to install grub of a floppy(I read this in an grub tutorial) ....my LFS is now complete ....I'm going Beyond LFS very soon..
