Hi, Thanks for a great book. I have just set up my first LFS; I had great fun and all is fine.
I hit a couple of issues setting up Grub that, looking through the lfs-support archive, have bitten a few others and wondered if it is worth mentioning in the book. I used SVN-20120106 and although the Grub setup suggests mounting /boot from another partition the example grub.cfg is based on /boot being on the root partition. This gave me two problems: 1) set root=(hd0,2) and linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.6-lfs-SVN-20120106 root=/dev/sda2 ro (hd0,2) and /dev/sda2 are referring to the same place, which do I change (or both)? Thankfully I guessed correctly. 2) I got 'file not found' from Grub when trying to load the kernel as I failed to realise that When Grub loads my boot partition the kernel is no longer in /boot but in /. This took me a little while to figure out. Bob -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
