i am sorry ... actually i made a mistake in previous post.....
it is "
root (hd0,7) "
i wrote it as root (hdo,7)
hello friends
i am using fedora core 1 as host system and LFS5.1.1
i have completed implementing LFS but i cannot configure grub. my lfs in imlemented on /dev/hdc8. i just have single hard disk and one cdrom.
when i am trying to configure grub i used command
root (hd0,7)
but it gives me error "specified device not found "
then i changed the fedora core's menu.lst file so that i can boot into my base system
on rebooting i was successfull entering the base system but after init was invoked i received the following error
"
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 8193 <device>
"
i tried this command but it gives me bad magic number......
please help me how should i proceed further ...... do i have any other option rather then starting whole base system development from scratch?????????????? ( actually i dont have enough time to start the whole implementation again )
