Hi friends,

At last I reached chapter 8.4 of LFS 7.3-rc1...Up to this there is no error at all. But as per the book suggestion

"In order for the procedure below to work, you need to jump ahead to BLFS and install xorriso from the libisoburn package."

I got "libisoburn-1.2.6" package and when I tried to configure and install inside Chroot environment I got error

Is that mandatory to install this package before configuring GRUB????

Hi

No it,s not mandatory that is if you cant boot your lfs from grub.
If you can get back into lfs from a live cd that will do,
If you were to overwrite your host bootloader that is what you would use.

Hi,

Thanx for your quick reply....

Actually LFS book suggest me to install this pack before doing anything with grub...you can refer

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...er08/grub.html

And FYI I am not using any live cd...I just building a LFS in seperate partition.

As per your advice here is the output for version-check

Kindly help me in this...

Whether I need to install this package by being inside "chroot" environment or outside of it....

Hi
I have never used this as I have live cd around so I can boot into the systems from it, I would of thought your host came on a cd which is proberly a live cd

FYI the version check is more needed at the begining of the build you way past that but thks for noticing.

Hello everybody,

And pardon the intrusion, but to someone on the sidelines, this right here seems to reveal a misunderstanding of spiky0011's post about a live CD...

First, most of us here are well aware of what the book says regarding installing libisoburn and creating a boot disk before installing GRUB. But what spiky0011 meant (I believe) is that one alternative to doing that step in the book is to create one of the well-known live CDs already in existence and available for download (such as Knoppix, System Rescue CD, or one of the distro live CDs, etc.). In other words, the libisoburn step is only there to provide a way to boot your computer in case you bust its boot loader installing GRUB in your LFS system (it happens all the time), and there are other ways to obtain a boot disk without diverting your efforts to libisoburn at this time. Of course do what you think is best, but I never do that boot disk step in the LFS book because I already possess about dozen disks that are capable of emergency booting my computer.

Hi,

Thanx,

Tell me precautions step, to take before doing all the stuff..

FYI, my laptop holds MS Windows 7, with LINUX (kernels 2.6.32, 2.6.36, 3.7.8) and I builded all LFS system in a new partition of my hard drive.

I will approciate if any one direct (suggest) me to take correct decision.

Even this lines are horrible to me

" Warning
The following command will overwrite the current boot loader. Do not run the command if this is not desired, for example, if using a third party boot manager to manage the Master Boot Record (MBR).

$ grub-install /dev/sda "


I need to understand deep of grub..

Please help me in this....

Thks stoat we did get crossed wires.

Yes what you have put will overwrite the grub which is installed by your host.
What you need to do is boot back into your host system CAN YOU LET US WHICH HOST, Then you will have to update grub from there. The host grub should identify lfs.

Hi Spiky,

As per your advice I updated my grub from there but it is not detecting my LFS there, It is normally updating with the earlier settings.

see this


cot@boss:~$ sudo update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...

even I created a script at /etc/grub.d/ inside my LFS partition, but none works for me

FYI, my laptop is dual boot, which holds windows 7, and linux (with more than one kernel), I builded LFS at seperate partition(which can be mounted in my system).

Share me any suggestion regarding this...

Hi

What files do you have in lfs /boot

Maybe post output of from host

Hi,

From Host it is

cot@boss:~$ sudo blkid

/dev/sda2: UUID="DA32CE2232CE038B" TYPE="ntfs" LABEL="C_drive"

What files are in lfs boot

Hi,

Inside chroot environment

I can't find

initrd.img here.....

How to solve this issue...?

Did you name those files in LFS /boot? Were they the 1,s you created in chapter 8.3

Here is my chapter 8.3

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...08/kernel.html

I followed everything as directed...

But only thing I done was for the first time I configured my kernel myself...(I am not sure whether I made any mistake in configuration)..

As a result of this I got

1) vmlinuz
2) system.map
3) config-3.7.9

not any initrd file....

There should not be any intrd file the others are all correct.

I see you have a /boot/grub dir have you created a grub.cfg file if so post it, and /etc/fstab
