This sounds like a case of "no such file" in the LFS FAQ - i.e. linked to something that isn't there now (/tools, /cross-tools, or if multilib perhaps a more serious problem (32/64 overwriting each other). ldd should tell you.
Alternatively, perhaps it was trying to tell you that the device it wanted to fsck could not be found - that would be a udev or kernel problem. > > Regarding the problem, I do not know if these are related but > > A) the host is running lilo which so far has booted all the other pure > 64-bit builds I have made AND If lilo loads the kernel (i.e. you don't move/recreate the executable files and forget to rerun lilo, and it's happy that the root= exists [ that's why I had to move to grub2 - hda7 became sda7 and lilo would not believe the nonexistent sda7 could be valid ], then it is irrelevant. > B) initially udev-182 failed o compile on my first go as kmod-10 was > mysteriously compiled tested but not installed.

News at 11. Even though it is clfs, after you sort out fsck.ext3, if you don't find serious errors in that and have to start again, try init=/bin/bash. Then step through the bootscripts - that is never fun (r/o root fs when it starts), but the only way to find out what is broken. For errors which show up when you do that, you will have to get resubscribed to clfs and ask there - general debugging processes are common, but the details of the bootscripts are "distro-specific". And good luck with getting a decent mailer that will let you not top post! ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
