Hi,

This looks like a toolchain error.

Did you have any problems with 6.10, possibly with the commands containing gcc -dumpmachine?

That command outputs the i686-pc-linux-gnu parts, which seem to be missing in your output.

My advise: Recheck/redo chapter 6.10 Re-adjusting the Toolchain.

Hope this helps.

hi
I've these two errors anytime:
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am

Hi,

In general: If the make step doesn't throw any errors and stops premature, you can continue (some exceptions are mentioned in the LFS book).

Hope this helps.

Hi, i've finish my lfs distro! my problem is that i've done it on an external disk and i've a problem to run it!!! i've install the grub on it and i've enter boot's information in the host /boot/grub/menu.lst file! but when i restart, it told " file not found"!! i need help! tks

Is your BIOS able to boot from a USB device? The "file not found" error suggests that grub can't see the file you want it to boot.

Hi,it is really a matter of BIOS!i boot it with another pc and it works apart from an error message after decompressing the kernel!
here is the error message :

root-nfs : no nfs server available,giving up.
