I followed the instructions at the link above to make a live USB with the LFS image I had created on my machine. Then I booted from the live USB on a different machine (a lenovo laptop). I was presented with the GRUB command line. After some playing around I was able to find the linux image and boot it. My LFS screen came up and the boot output as usual came up so I thought "success". Then the screen went blank and I was presented with my GUI Ubuntu login screen from the system installed on the laptop's hard drive. How is this even possible?

[blfs-support] Update the kernel to 5.10.1
Hi, I have a running LFS system. Was thinking about updating the kernel to the latest stable version (5.10.1). Is this a bad idea? Could it break the system? -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Could it break the system? You can do that, but do NOT replace the kernel headers. glibc depends on the headers. Actually, I suggest you only update the kernel if you have a specific need for something in the new kernel. -- Bruce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Yes something happened to the repos, and it is my fault. I asked Bruce to run "svnadmin upgrade" on the ALFS repo, and then svn+ssh:// was answering No repository found. svn:// was still working though. Then Bruce and Douglas tried to fix it, and I think that the svn server was put off. Note that it still works for me as svn:// .
