If you mean the repair install for Debian put it back where it was originally, which will give you a clean slate to start with (i.e. back to your original error condition) but should be booting Debian

If we go back to when you built your kernel, did you include your block controllers as static or as modules (=y or =m)? This would include any SATA, PATA, ATA entries that you have made. If you built them as modules then you should really build those in particular as static so that the kernel can actually find your block devices during boot (modules are loaded from the filesystem, which the kernel can't find without the modules being loaded if they are not static. Catch 22 situation).

That was why I recommended building everything as static rather than as modules. To avoid this issue, but at the very least those drivers mentioned should be static.

I know that you posted some of your error messages, and reiterated that, but would you please post more of them? Ten lines before and ten lines after the actual error might be enough to help us understand the real cause. If you need to, take pictures of them, and post the pictures to a free picture-sharing site.

Secondly, is your GRUB installation still broken? I wish that I could help with GRUB2, but I honestly find it difficult to understand, and still prefer GRUB 1. I want to recommend that you get a GRUB 1 disc and try booting with that, but it would probably be counterproductive in the long run.

Nope, your host doesn't need the lfs partition in its fstab file (see post #11).


You really need to start with a clean slate and systematically tackle this problem, it seems that you are going around in circles at the moment.

Some clarity might also help, at the moment we don't have a clue about your current situation:
- It seems you have fixed your boot problem, or did you reinstall everything?
- If you reinstalled: Did you follow the LFS book this time?
- If you reinstalled: Is you host still on /dev/sda1 and LFS on /dev/sdb1?
- Did you make sure that the LFS kernel/system.map/config files are present in /mnt/lfs/boot (or /boot from within the chrooted environment)
- Have you tried the LFS grub entry in post #11 (assuming /dev/sdb1 still holds LFS)
- This might be a kernel configuration problem: Post the LFS kernel .config file that was created after you edited the kernel, maybe we see something that can be improved.

Hope this helps.
