-k,
I did not post a new thread, because I found an old one with this problem: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...anging-525350/ Basically---I/we need to set some Udev rules for the naming of our respective hard disks. Then we will be able to unambiguously pass a root= option to the kernel---(root=/dev/hda1) for example. We will also be able to fill out fstab with the correct device. (/ on /dev/hda1, /home on /dev/hda2, etc) When the kernel gets to the point where it mounts the root of the filesystem, it will find the correct disk, mount it, and then pass control to SysVInit (/sbin/init), which will go through the boot scripts. ---rm_dash_rf_star |
Just one more thought:
When I recompiled my kernel last night, I used: make ARCH=i386 defaultconfig (or something of that sort) I found this configuration option in the README file under /sources/linux-version Then, I did a `make menuconfig' and set a few more options (but nothing that I think made the difference). I would highly recommend starting from this default configuration.---rm_dash_rf_star |

I'm pleased to report that I have successfully completed my build of LFS version 6.3 using the Live CD. I had to study kernel configuration carefully and my system of restoring the environment after a shut-down now works flawlessly.
On to BLFS now. A quick look at the book indicates to me that I have a very great deal of work to do to work out what I need to do. I think a period with a reference book and an existing distribution is necessary first. Now I've finally built the LFS system I would like to be able to save it out onto a CD for backup purposes - I wouldn't want to have to go through the whole build process again should it become corrupted. Is this possible and if so - can someone please point me in the right direction. I am very grateful to every person who helped me in this and other posts. Without your kindness and encouragement I might not have got this far. Thanks to you all. Allan |
