Hi, all:
Sorry that I started another new topic. BTW, thanks Bruce, thank you for
your answer to my former question, which makes me much clearer already.
However, I still keeps receiving the following error message.
*Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown
block(0,0)

*root:/boot# ls*
*config-3.7.1 System.map-3.7.1 vmlinuz-3.7.1-lfs-SVN-20121225*
As you can see, *I don't even have the folder under /boot*, because as said
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter08/grub.html
, *This
section is not required to boot your LFS system.*
Well, it seems to me that LFS Chapter 8 is not quite clear ... There may be
something more to be talked about there. Anyway, how to avoid the *Kernel
panic - not syncing: VFS* problem finally?
Cheers
