Hi Team, I could successfully finish all the chapters in BOOK-7.0 and able to boot my LFS successfully !!. I have registerd myself as LFS user ! Thanks for all your support.
I am planning to use the same LFS-7.0 as base for further work may be BLFS and CLFS. I would like to explain my current system configuration to make sure everything is fine and I can go ahead continuing on the same confiuguration. My host PC is Fedora 14. It has two Hard disks. /dev/sda has Fedora 14 (/dev/sda1 is /boot partition in Host PC) /dev/sdb has LFS-7.0 (/dev/sdb3 is / partition (LFS is located)) I can say I have skipped Section 8.4 (Using Grub to Set up the Boot process), I mean I have modified the host PC's GRUB boot loaders' menu.lst file to include my newly built lfs kernel. Host PC's menu.lst/grub.conf looks like below: ######################## #Begin grub.conf default=0 timeout=8 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz #hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686 ro root=UUID=9fe0cddd-fe18-4d2b-825c-5fb4d788caf3 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us nomodeset rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.img # Emerson added the below three lines to boot lfs kernel from /dev/sda1 (/boot of host PC) and to mount LFS root (/) which is in /dev/sdb3 title Linux (3.1-lfs-7.0) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-3.1-lfs-7.0 root=/dev/sdb3 ro #End grub.conf. ########################## When Host PC boots up, it give menu and I am selecting "Linux (3.1-lfs-7.0)". Without issues I am able to boot and able to verify /etc/lfs-release pointing to 7.0. Indeed mounted my LFS /. Now question is, Can I use this type configuration (that is Two hard disks) to proceed with BLFS/CLFS? will it totally block any where in the BLFS /CLFS? My Action items currently: I am currently going through the "dmesg" logs of my newly booted LFS system. I have verified Keyboard/Console/HDDs are working in the new LFS system. Also I am planning to revist the book 7.0 chapters again to get better understanding. I will get back to you in case of doubts. Thanks again for all your support. Regards, Emerson
