hey guys!
I didn't installed GRUB in the chapter 8 and configured my already 
installed GRUB with writing the following text in the /boot/grub.cfg

set default=0
set timeout=5

insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,msdos4) #i tried it with set root=(hd0,4) too

menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 3.5.2-lfs-7.2" {
     linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.2-lfs-7.2 
root=UUID=4f9f6834-c55b-492e-a70c-4e3bca952f5b ro
}

I can't use the /dev/sdxy partition names because i have two hard drives 
(IDE and SATA) and the names are after rebooting randomly mixed. So i 
can't be sure which is the right /dev/sdxy file.

I try to boot my new lfs system and it don't work instead i get this 
message (a little bit more but i think this is the important part):
VFS: Cannot open root device "UUID=4f9f6834-c55b-492e-a70c-4e3bca952f5b" 
or unknown-block(0,0): error -6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available 
partitions:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(0,0)

I don't use an extra /boot partition so i have two /boot folders one on 
my Ubuntu(containing GRUB and the Ubuntu kernel) partition and one on my 
LFS (containing the LFS kernel) partition can this work?
Can i even use UUIDs for lfs?
Did i anything else wrong?

my host system:    Ubuntu 12.10
my lfs version        7.2
