kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)


Hi
I am trying LFS7.1
I build LFS system on Vm machine(my host system is VM). I build LFS on a 10G partition that mounted on /mn/lfs
I use my host grub to booting LFS. and add lfs as menuentry to host grub.cfg
my host system specific came below:
Code:
root@32-bit:/home/ubuntu-32bit# fdisk -l

Maybe your grub config is wrong about the root partition (supposed to be sdb1)?

Or /dev/sdb1 is a removable device (typically an USB hard disk) and then:
- either it needs some time to synchronize => add: append "rootdelay=30" to your grub config
- or the kernel numbered it differently this time. Then in /etc/fstab name it by UUID=xxx, not by /dev/sdbn. To know the value xxx for this drive, use the blkid command
