After trying to browse through the 3 other Kernel Panic threads and attempting to fix my problem using those, I've decided to post a new thread...
I am at the last stage of LFS 6.6, no errors as far as I can tell, and everything has been working fine in the chroot environment.
I set up GRUB, no errors. I already have GRUB on Linux Mint 9 (Ubuntu 10.04), so didn't install it to the MBR. I rebooted, and saw "GNU/Linux...", which wasn't there before. I clicked on it and this is what I saw (sorry, I don't know where the log is, if there is one):
[Picture of my monitor with errors]
I saw that something was wrong with /dev/sda3 (my LFS partition), so I looked at fdisk -l (on Linux Mint):
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xb744052f
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 16633 133599232+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 16633 17849 9767520 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 17849 20411 20582784 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 * 20411 38914 148620288 7 HPFS/NTFS
If this is relevant, here is LFS's fstab file:
Code:
# Begin /etc/fstab
# file system mount-point type options dump fsck
# order
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap pri=1 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
# End /etc/fstab
And here is Linux Mint's grub.cgf:

Any ideas? I really don't want to abandon 3 days of hard work...
