[SOLVED] problems booting lfs system

frieza · 09-07-2010, 04:40 AM

finished, installed grub, the boot process gets to

Code:

INIT: version 2.86 booting
Mounting kernel-based file systems /proc /sys   [ OK ]
Setting the console log level to 7... [ OK ]
Populating /dev with device nodes...
/etc/rc.d/rsysinit.d/S10udev: line 61: /sbin/udevd: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/rsysinit.d/S10udev: line 66: /sbin/udevadm: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/rsysinit.d/S10udev: line 68: /sbin/udevadm: No such file or directory [ FAIL ]
Activating all swap files/partitions...
swapon /dev/sda2: stat failed: No such file or directory [ FAIL ]
mounting root file system in read-only mode... [ OK ]
Checking file systems..
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda3
/dev/sda3:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: 
e2fsck -b 8139 <device> [ FAIL ]

FAILURE:

File system errors were encountered that could not be fixed automatically. this system cannot continue to boot and will therefore be halted until those errors are fixed manually by a System Administrator.

After you press enter, this system will be halted and powered off.

Press Enter to continue...

i will try and get you my fstab and grub.conf if you need it

Seems you haven't installed Udev properly. Check that the programs mentioned are in /sbin.

Hi,

check if the missing programs have been installed in the wrong directory.
The ./configure command from the book:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc --sbindir=/sbin \
--with-rootlibdir=/lib --libexecdir=/lib/udev \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/udev-151 \
--disable-extras --disable-introspection

Maybe you just missed the --sbindir option. Search the following locations for the missing programs
- /bin
- /sbin <-- if you find it here then the problem is a bit more serious
- /usr/bin
- /usr/sbin
- /lib/udev/

thanks, rebuilding udev worked, not sure what i did wrong but oh well

just a question perhaps someone will know this but when booting from the LFS live cd the hard drive was /dev/hda but when booting from the actual lfs system it changed to /dev/sda even though it's an IDE hard drive, i've noticed this behavior on pre canned distros also (ide hard drives labled /dev/sdX) why is this

Hi,

the naming depends on the kernel version - and which drivers are used for the device. Here is an article that sheds some light on this matter:
