I soldiered on with the 3.10.10 kernel and was surprised I could compile xorg with BLFS 7.5. However, I still couldn't boot with a newer kernel but can boot and bring up X with the old. As I can apparently continue with my 3.10.10 kernel without incident methinks I'll run with that until the next LFS/BLFS release. I'm still surprised I could compile LFS 7.5 with the 3.13.3 kernel and then revert to an older kernel with BLFS 7.5. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
