AFTER you install the lfs-bootscripts and have a bootable, runnable
system it IS possible to install rewritten boot scripts--I've done it. I
always start by installing the LFS scripts!

Looking at the sorts of issues you keep asking about though, I have some
"tough love" advice for you: learn to walk before you try to run.
Replacing the boot scripts isn't for amateurs!

This story is almost certainly untrue, but that doesn't keep it from
being true. If you know what I mean.

Young Composer: "Herr Mozart, I am thinking of writing a symphony. How
should I get started?"

Mozart: "A symphony is a very complex musical form and you are still
young. Perhaps you should start with something simpler, like a
concerto."

Young Composer: "But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you
were 8 years old."

Mozart: "Yes, but I never asked anyone how."

Certainly it's possible... they're just shell scripts, so if you know
what you're doing, you can replace them with whatever you want. If you
want, you can skip init entirely, boot to bash, and run all the init
steps manually yourself.

But given that you've skipped installing the bootscripts, yet found it
necessary to ask us why the system doesn't boot correctly, I'd suggest
you need to do a lot more research before taking such a step. And
getting the system booting on the standard scripts is probably a good
step, so that you can read them and modify them, and see what happens.

Guess where in the book does '/etc/rc.d' & contents get installed. Clue:
'http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter07/bootscripts.html'  .

How did you manage to finish the system in less then a week? did you follow
all the book? The problem might be in /etc/passwd /etc/group or /etc/passwd

[lfs-support] Can't login after boot, typing keyboard doesn't display any character on console, why?

2016-12-29 Thread ssmtpmailtesting ssmtpmailtesting
I looks, kernel is booting well. Mounted rootfs(ext4). I got the login
prompt as: (none) login: , if I type username there, characters are not
displayed there. It's not doing anything from there. I think, system is
freezed.

cat /etc/sysconfig/console:
KEYMAP="us"
FONT="lat1-16 -m 8859-1"

I didn't install this:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter07/bootscripts.html

cat /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0

ONBOOT=yes
IFACE=eth0
SERVICE=ipv4-static
IP=192.168.1.2
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
PREFIX=24
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

(none) login: prompt was before. I was able to login before without
installing lfs bootscripts. But I recompiled the kernel, then tried again
to change the (none) login: to mybox login: prompt. Now can't type anything
and can't login.

cat /etc/hostname
mybox

What can be the problem? What should I do?
