Maybe. Depends on how much time I have. If I'm gonna commit myself to
adding a LFS installation to my machine. Virtualbox EFI emulation
isn't that stellar.

Thanks for posting advice for EFI users. You should probally make this
into a hint sometime soon. I might want to add info about Gummiboot

Booting LFS can now involve a series of decisions on how you want to
boot. If you don't have UEFI firmware it's easy. Follow the GRUB2
instructions in Ch. 8.4. If you have UEFI firmware, the situation can
get a little "stickier." Now the decision is to boot using GRUB2 in the
"BIOS Mode" or

Nope. GPT assigns UUIDs to the partitions, but that's all - the kernel
still deals only with traditional device names (sda1, sda2, etc). The

I got it to work! Turns out that the root file system changes to /dev/sdc1
after all the harddisks are found so changing the line root=/dev/sda1 to
root=/dev/sdc1 and adding a rootdelay successfully booted the system!

Hello all,
I am having a hard time booting my LFS system, which is on a USB drive. I

after printing what I believe to be a trace call. Interestingly, one

I know it's unusual for it to be hda rather than sda but it is hda. It's very
strange, the first time I did LFS on the same computer it was sda until it came
to the boot grub.cfg file, then it wouldn't boot unless I referenced it as hda
even though the entire rest of the project sda sufficed. N

Don't top post.
It's unlikely that your drive is hda. It's most likely sda.
What is your hardware? It is also quite unusual for LFS to be on the
first partition
hda1. I set the first part to hd0,1 and further down o the configuration file I
set it to hda1 as well.

I haven't yet fixed Debian's boot process but I tried to fix the LFS
boot loader, I edited files via ssh as usual, I just had to download and
burn a boot cd to get it up and running. I got a little progress in
that now LFS is trying to start but I'M getting a couple of errors.

I finished LFS but it will not boot. When powering on the computer I get a boot
screen showing one option, "GNU/Linux, Linux 3.2.6-lfs-7.1". When selected
with ENTER I get "Press any key to continue", then it goes back to the same
boot screen with the same option. Any ideas.
