Kernel panic... Unable to mount root fs

2008-07-01 Thread Christian Gardner
Hi all, hope someone can help me out, it's been five years since I last used LFS (or linux for that matter!) so I'm a bit rusty... I've gone through the LFS6.3 book. It all seems to go fine until I boot up the new system. These are the last three lines before it totally freezes: List of all par

"Cannot run C compiled programs", falling at first hurdle.

2009-10-25 Thread Christian Gardner
Hi all, I have an LFS 6.3 host system and I'm trying to build an LFS 6.4 system on a separate partition. I can't even get the configure script in the first pass of binutils to go alright! I get the above error message, followed by something about what to do if I'm cross-compiling. Which I'm not,

Never mind peeps, I worked out what it was. Just in case anyone's as dumb as me, here's what happened. I stick all the LFS instructions in a bash script, which doesn't fail as sensibly as it should. The first time I ran it, binutils compiled but gcc didn't (for separate reasons I've now fixed).

Booting up - mountvirtfs, mountfs, /run/var/bootlog problems

2011-11-15 Thread Christian Gardner
So I've managed to build an LFS7 system - yay me - and it boots and I can use it. But there's lots of error messages. There seem to be around seven reports (possibly one per startup script?) that it can't find /run/var/bootlog, and when I look in there, not only is there no bootlog, there's no

Wow that was quick and painless! Thanks! I still had my fstab reading tmpfs.../dev/shm which I suppose is how it used to work back in 6.8. I'll update the bootscripts too. - Original Message - From: Bruce Dubbs To: Christian Gardner ; LFS Support List Cc: Sent: Tuesday, 15 Nov

So the last time I had this problem a couple of weeks ago, it occurred only in the second pass of the gcc build. Now it occurs in the first pass. And unlike last time, it hasn't magically disappeared. Having trashed the partition with my host LFS system on it, I'm using Xubuntu 11.04 as the h
