I'm not sure about that, but it's possible. I have an older LFS system that I use for day-to-day work. It is an i686 originally built in Nov 2005 using gcc-4.0.2, Linux 2.6.12, glibc-2.3.6. (SVN-20051118, approximately LFS-6.1.1). I upgraded it to Linux-2.6.22.5 without problem (2007), but haven't upgraded tool change components since. I use another system for my LFS development work now. >> What if you built a Linux-2.6.22.5 kernel on the host and try that? > > I'd fear that too large a kernel upgrade would require other confuration > changes in my host system.

I don't think it would interfere with anything currently running, but if it did, the only thing needed to revert is a reboot. > So it's beginning to look like from my LFS-6.1 system, with gcc-3.4.3 > and linux-2.6.11.12, originally, patched to 2.6.18.0, is just too far > a chasm? Possibly. The problem may be not using gcc-4.x. > The 6.6 book's HSR needs patching? I need an interim step, > say my own build of 6.3? Is that where we are?

My advice would be to use jhalfs for some arbitrary version of the book that you choose and just let it run. We know that LFS-6.3 works because it has been used a lot from the last LiveCD. That would be a good candidate for an intermediate release. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
