BLFS support? Wrong list..but I've done that plenty of times. :-) Replied to both so the thread is in the correct list. Anyway, not quite enough info to give specific instructions. Need to know the device name for the root partiton, and the /boot partiton. Right now, I see the /boot partition is /dev/hdb1. Just a tip to help you through the previous error, if you have separate boot partition, you are looking for /lfskernel-2.6.8.1 (not /boot/lfskernel...) in the find command. For the new error, the kernel is looking at the root partition it was told to look at, and searching for '/sbin/init'. Select the new entry and edit it (e) and add init=/bin/bash to the end of the kernel line. That'll get you started. If that gives the same error, then perhaps you have the root=/dev/hd?? option wrong in the grub config file. Hope that'll get you going in the right direction, if not, please post the results along with the other requested info. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
