Re: [lfs-support] Booting my LFS for the first time

I had a grub.cfg issue and fixed it, using 0,1 to orient it properly. insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 3.13.3-lfs-7.5" { linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.3-lfs-7.5 root=/dev/sdb1 ro } It was (hd0,2), which didn't work. However, if I boot with "root=/sdb1 ro" it just fr

I just googled grub configuration to make sure. Unless you explicitly embed the grub menu configuration options in the grub image, grub loads its configuration file from /boot/grub/grub.cnf. This means that system bios provides access to the storage device containing the boot files. Hardware dev

If your udev and devtempfs are funtioning correcty, you might want to check the mountpoints in /etc/fstab. You can boot debian and enter fdisk -l to see how it is configured there to get a clue but still you need to sort out the right path descriptors yourself, because when you run the kernel from

In /var/log on your usb drive you can find several logs. Those also include error messages. Most common boot issues are allready solved and you can find solutions on the forums. Op 23 aug. 2014 07:56 schreef "Patrick Kennedy" het volgende: > Speaking of not compiling in things as modules, when I

Speaking of not compiling in things as modules, when I do the following after "make defconfig" - cat .config | grep =m I see quite a few modules. Should I replace all =m with =y ? I mean, obviously, I tried that too, but it doesn't fix my boot problem. When my LFS boots, it says: Error: unknow

Okay, it crashed and burned gloriously, and I botched the grub to boot. ;-) After some studies on grub, I can now boot my distro Debian from the primary hard drive via grub commands...very cool. I can also attempt to boot my LFS from auxiliary hard drive, and it starts to boot up, and I see four
