Just following up on this. First, the Intel Atom, at least model D2700, does not have 4 cores. It has 2 cores, each with hyper threading. This gives the appearance of 4 cores but not the performance. The build of LFS went without problem, but it was slow. SBU was 384 seconds. My P6 from 2005 has an SBU value of 135! I did not build with any testing and the total build time was about 57 SBU or about 6 hours. I wouldn't recommend this processor for any demanding tasks. Building the kernel was a little problematic. I used 'make x86_64_defconfig' and didn't catch the fact that this didn't have devtmpfs or ext4 enabled. After fixing those issues, the system booted just as expected. I use a separate /boot partition. Installing grub worked fine, but I did forget to mount /dev in the chroot environment at first which caused grub-install to fail. I do like the grub2 boot organization: boot/grub/ boot/grub/i386-pc/ boot/grub/locale/ I generally make this partition 100M, but with a gpt partition table, it formats out to 93M. It was pretty full with the Debian entries. The grub directory and config files don't use a lot, but initrd files do: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2M May 6 2012 System.map-2.6.32-5-486 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.3M May 6 2012 System.map-2.6.32-5-686 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.6M Nov 27 11:03 System.map-2.6.32-5-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.1M Nov 27 11:03 System.map-3.2.0-4-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.2M Nov 27 13:41 System.map-3.6.7-lfs-20121122 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109K May 6 2012 config-2.6.32-5-486 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109K May 6 2012 config-2.6.32-5-686 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104K Nov 27 11:03 config-2.6.32-5-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 126K Nov 27 11:03 config-3.2.0-4-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74K Nov 27 13:41 config-3.6.7-lfs-20121122 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12M Sep 29 02:38 initrd.img-2.6.32-5-486 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12M Sep 29 02:38 initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.9M Nov 27 11:03 initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.7M Nov 27 11:03 initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.1M May 6 2012 vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-486 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.2M May 6 2012 vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.4M Nov 27 11:04 vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M Nov 27 11:04 vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.2M Nov 27 13:42 vmlinuz-3.6.7-lfs-20121122 Compare the LFS kernel size, 4.2M, the the combination of kernel+initrd or the others. Each is more than 12M. I'll probably delete the redundant Debian files if I need more room. Next I'll start doing some selected BLFS packages but I don't expect any issues. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
