I have completed building LFS and am able to boot and login into root user but Im unable to view any of the folders such as home etc, var, etc...
The ls command doesnt show any files or folders.On the other hand when I chroot into lfs using my host system I can access everything. Also fr your information I have used my existing grub, Grub 2 and used grub customiser to automatically searchh and add the entry into the grub. I have also tried adding the entry in the below format to the 40_custom file to see if it works, it does get added and when i select it it says file not found and then press any key to continue and when I press it starts up into login alright. The first option (using grub customiser) doesnt even give me an error.
menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 3.4.3-lfs-SVN-20120623" {
set default=0
set timeout=5
insmod ext3
set root=(hd0,2)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.3-lfs-SVN-
20120623 root=/dev/sda7 ro
}

The problem is the same in both cases
ls shows nothing is there
and I cant see any of my files or dirctories, whereas I see them using chroot on my host system.

Please help!

Hi

the command ls is in coreutils, can you run other commands. mkdir,chmod,df

this is solved There was a space type in my fstab I fixed it and recompiled the kernel using devfs(I had missed out on actually marking it with pressing M instead of just pressing enter on the entry for devfs) and that fixed things, as for the grub issue Im using the gruub entry made by grub configurator an easy to use app that made my life easier, It automatiically scans for kernels and then updates the grub. Its crazy how a few silly mistake can cause such damage and time wastage...!
