Re: Kernel panic - booting from USB harddisk

Hi, have you double-checked that the root= kernel parameter is set correctly in your menu.lst? So far, I only read about your fstab in this thread. Check again what suggestions the kernel makes for valid partition device nodes... Just in case you haven't tried yet. - Philipp --

Re: cannot open root device hda3

Hi there! I hope I don't repeat something that was said earlier. I have seen this kind of errors a few times when I built LFS on my machine, and it was nearly always due to some missing kernel features. I haven't seen a kernel configuration page for quite a while now, so I can't really tell which

Re: 6.9. Glibc-2.5.1

Hi, normally, the structure when installing programs with separate build directories should like this: +maindir | - tarballs and patches | + unpacked source tarball (e.g. glibc-2.5.1) | | - source tree | + builddir (e.g. glibc-build) | | - commands entered here However, you seem to

Re: 6.9. Glibc-2.5.1

Oh sorry, I seem to have really weird grammar today and I haven't answered your question yet: - unpack glibc-tarball - change dir to glibc-2.5.1 - unpack libidn tarball from directory above - rename created dir to libidn - (...) - change to top level directory - make build dir - change to build

Re: Failure to boot

Hi, have you already tried to replace sda4 in your menu.lst with hda4? I remember you had a typo in one of your mails, but I'm unsure if that happened when writing the mail or when writing the menu.lst. At least your kernel seems to recognize the HD and partitions but with prefix hda instead of

Re: Failure to boot

Replacing sda4 with hda4 in menu.lst results in a different error: swapon: cannot stat dev/sda3: no such file or directory fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda4 The super block could not be read or does not describe a correct ext filesystem. If the device is

Re: Compile error after final Re-adjusting the Toolchain

Hi again, my system is running a GCC-4.3.1, which is why I responded in the first place. If you have installed the patches for Glibc-2.7, which should come in two *.diff files, then everything should compile just fine with the development book's instructions - well, at least it worked twice for
