I will redo once more (4th attemp ... only the 1st booted succesfuly) and pay
particular attention to kernel config ... devtmpfs.
... but I am using the same script I made with few changes:

So I don't know why this has started to happen.
Thanks.

I took a vid:

Another thing I see is that when I boot to a live CD and run fdisk I tried to
delete the 2nd partition (host system) to see if it was the issue.
Last build of LFS I was able to boot no problem and I had deleted /dev/sda2 at
the end of chapter 9 ... but this time I didn't.

The book said rc.site was a optional file.
Anything that was optional I omited so I could stay with the basics.

Hello all,
After completing the 7.1 book thru chapter 9 I reboot but get several fail
messages.
The last one is fatal and refers to file system errors that must be fixed.
The only option is to press enter and reboot.
