< If you followed the the chapter about compiling and then configuring < grub you will have a menu.lst file in boot/grub your entry for root < might look something like root=/dev/hda# if you are doing lfs 6.5 and < using kernel 2.6.30.2 change your root entry to root=/dev/sd# and also < in your fstab file change all your hd entries to sd example /dev/hda1 < and /dev/hda5 will be /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5
