You only answered part of my questions, this specific one you didn't answer and is rather important:
- What does your lfs grub entry look like?

For completeness, also post the output of:

Code:

ls -l /boot
ls -l /mnt/lfs/boot

I would start with the output of the other commands I suggested, most (if not all) information needed at this point should be present.

This older lfs hint might also be useful: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hint...figuration.txt

BTW: Please put the output of the commands inside [code] ... [/code] tags it preserves all spacing. If you don't know how: LQ - BB Code List.

this is my grub.cfg in my host system that contains lfs system options:

Code:

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 3.2.6-lfs-7.1 (on /dev/sdb1)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ext2
        set root='(hd1,msdos1)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 02183e45-15ed-46ad-b562-645ca3e204ba
        linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.6-lfs-7.1 root=/dev/sdb1 ro
}
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###

of course I add 2 options after rebooting the system with select lfs system , press e key :
1- end of "linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.6-lfs-7.1 root=/dev/sdb1 ro" line, I add " init=/bin/bash
2- initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.6-lfs-7.1

and press F10 to booting the lfs system, but occur errors!

I have attached dmesg command results. my email is k84.834@gmail.com. you can email me how to config kernel with these information?! thank you for all replies until now. I searched that how can I config kernel but all options or required options dose not described. I want to learn with this system for a example.

k84834 · 09-02-2012, 05:45 AM

I have one question ! in one section of the result of lfs booting is:

"ALERT!/dev/sdb1 dose not exist. dropping to a shell! ". what say this sentences??!!

Didn't I tell you in post #7 NOT TO USE INITRD
Choose lfs when booting and do not edit/change/add anything!!!

k84834 · 09-02-2012, 06:46 AM

I do this edition according to guidance in this site.

I booting lfs without any changes.the errors changed(see attachment)

k84834 · 09-02-2012, 06:53 AM

why there isn't sdb1 in available partitions list ?! ( see attachment file)

druuna · 09-02-2012, 07:26 AM

All kernel related actions done between post #7 and post #19 need to be reversed. It can well be that the original compiled kernel would have worked when booting the correct way. You changed many kernel options between posts 7 and 19 that might now be causing problems.

I would advise to throw away the current kernel and create a new one.

As root user from your host:

Code:

rm /mnt/lfs/boot/[ciSv]*
cp /boot/config-3.2.0-23-generic-pae /mnt/lfs/root/

mount -v --bind /dev $LFS/dev
mount -vt devpts devpts $LFS/dev/pts
mount -vt tmpfs shm $LFS/dev/shm
mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc
mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys

chroot "$LFS" /usr/bin/env -i \
    HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
    PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin \
    /bin/bash --login

cd /location/of/linux-3.2.6/
make mrproper
cp /root/config-3.2.0-23-generic-pae .config
make silentoldconfig  # answer possible questions by pressing Enter/Return (default) 
make menuconfig       # check [ps]ata/ide/scsi options; change [M] to [*] -> exit and safe
make
make modules_install
cp -v arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.6-lfs-7.1
cp -v System.map /boot/System.map-3.2.6
cp -v .config /boot/config-3.2.6
exit
reboot

are I change all of [M] to [*] in all section of menuconfig or just in pata and sata /scsi and IDE sections?

after logout command, I do umount all in sdb partition then I reboot the system. I think this is wrong because lfs system hasn't stand-alone grub and must be mounted on sda ?!
