I like xorriso, it works well for me, but I don't think it should be added to LFS. Putting it in BLFS and discussing the grub issue there would be a better option. > There are other problems with grub. grub-probe is not working properly > and that causes the configuration to fail.

Does it depend on the version of udev running? What version of udev are you using on the system you're testing?
