8.4.3. Setting Up the Configuration
Partition that i build LFS is sdb1 type3. What grub.cfc should be?

Thank you for any help!!!
Please help me

For the 8.4.1 question... The grub-mkrescue command depends upon xorriso. Xorriso is not part of LFS, so it has to be installed sort of as a side-project, so-to-speak. Xorriso is in the BLFS book. All of this is stated in 8.4.1. Section 8.4.1 merely creates an emergency boot disk (which everyone should possess anyway) in case you bust your host system's boot loader doing chapter 8. So either install xorriso and create the boot disk according to 8.4.1, or download and burn a Super GRUB 2 Disk (a free and popular emergency boot disk). I recommend against proceeding without possessing (and knowing how to use) a boot disk if you intend to do the grub-install step in chapter 8 (otherwise, it's not too risky to proceed without a boot disk at this time IMO).

For the 8.4.2 question... That stuff is no longer valid. See the LFS 7.2 errata. So you have to skip that. I would just try (hd1,1) in the grub.cfg for /dev/sdb1. It might just work, and it sure won't hurt anything to try.

For the 8.4.3 question... I would use the example in the book and change the set root= command to (hd1,1) and the root= kernel parameter to /dev/sdb1.

My recommendation is NOT to do the grub-install step in chapter 8 at this time. It will replace your host system's boot loader with LFS's which you don't know is even going to boot yet. I would skip the grub-install step for now, create the grub.cfg file, and take the necessary steps to add the LFS system to the boot menu of the host system's boot loader and boot it from there.

When I skip 8.1 and 8.2 from you suggestion.

When I done everything until 9.3 after i reboot my system i got this error

I do believe stoat said you should skip 8.4 and not 8.1 and 8.2 (8.3?).

8.2 and 8.3 are essential!

Instead of doing 8.4 you need to tell your host to look for new grub entries by executing (from your host, as root):The above should find the LFS entry and add it.

Sorry for misunderstand i skip 8.4.1 and 8.4.2 from Stoat advice.

When I try Druuna suggestion i got the same error.

What is "VFS Cannot open root device 'sdb1' or unknow-block(0,0)" mean?

and How to fix it?

Anyway my grub.cfg is

I build LFS in sdb1 and type of Hdd is ext3. Is this a collect script of grup.cfg for my LFS?

If your problem still remains after you did what I suggested in post #4, please post the following information:

From your host:
- lfs related part from your grub.conf,
- output of fdisk -l /dev/sdb (and point out which partition is used for LFS/swap/??)

From LFS:
- inittab
- fstab

EDIT: Some info was posted while I replied...

Step I do after 8.2

1.2. 3. do until finish 9.2

4. 5. from your advice

6. 8.

Please follow the instructions we posted! If anything is unclear DO NOT just execute commands.

You are still executing commands from 8.4: Do not do any steps from chapter 8.4!!! There is no point in doing these steps if your hosts grub is used. To emphasize: None of the steps from 8.4 should be done. Skip that chapter.

You might have just overwritten your hosts boot loader by executing grub-install /dev/sda........ I'm not sure if the following will work.

As stated in post #4: You need to run the following command from your host as root: When that command finishes, post the lfs related part from /boot/grub/grub.cfg (on your host!).

inittab and fstab aren't commands but configuration files...........
From LFS post the content of those files!

Make sure you understand what is being done, if you don't you will probably mess up your LFS build and possibly your host.

What operating system are you using?You can try

Sorry I am very new for linux and LFS, and Im oversea student so Language is a little problem when i try to study this.
Some chapter i understand and Some i'm not.

1.my inittab

2.fstab

3. When i use update-grub command from my root system.
This is output:
when i use command whereis grub.cfg
output is:

4.If i dont use command grub-install /dev/sda
When i finished 9.3 Reboot the System, It not boot LFS but it boot my distribution (Ubuntu).

Language can be a problem, but a basic understanding of Linux is assumed (vi. Prerequisites). I doubt if your basic Linux knowledge is sufficient.

This looks OK.

This also looks OK.

That also looks OK, a LFS entry is found (the bold part).

Like I said before: Forget about the grub-install /dev/sdX command.

When you boot you get a menu with several options, one of those is LFS. Select it (arrow down/up) and press enter.

I do following step from your advice.
1. skip 8.3 and do until 9.3

2. When after i restart it has several boot section as you say , but when i choose boot from LFS 7.2 it has the same error .
This photo show a error.

3. Anyway i forgot tell you i skip 7.10 before those step.
Is it make a error to my LFS?

Sigh......
Who told you to skip 8.3?

Do chapter 8.3, its about your kernel which is rather important. Without it you create all sorts of problems. Fix this first.

You can skip 7.10 (Configuring the Linux Console) if you want/need to. It isn't the cause of your error.

sorry i tell you wrong i skip8.4.
What cause of this problem?
To resolve this problem what is chapter that I should to start from it again?(I use vmware and i snapshot when I finished each chapter )

Anyway in chapter 8.2 i skip

my lfs is in sdb2 type 3.

Can I skip this step or not?
