<h2>Miscellaneous Errata</h2>
<ul>
- <li><p>A new version of Shadow has been released, changing the
- location of the tarball used in LFS-6.2. The 4.0.15
- version can be downloaded from <a
- href="ftp://ftp.pld.org.pl/software/shadow/old/";>
- ftp://ftp.pld.org.pl/software/shadow/old/</a>.
+ <li><p>Beginning with E2fsprogs-1.40.5, the command mke2fs can now
+ produce filesystems with 256-byte inodes. Grub cannot read such
+ filesystems by default, so if you create such a file system with
+ the host machine's newer E2fsprogs, you will see an error when
+ running Grub. The following patch for Grub addresses this issue:<a
+
href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/grub/grub-0.97-256byte_inode-1.patch";>
+
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/grub/grub-0.97-256byte_inode-1.patch</a>.
+ For more information see: <a
href="http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2161";>
+ this ticket</a>.
</p></li>
- <li><p>Glibc-2.3.6 expects that /bin/sh is `bash' and uses some
- `bash' specific syntax in the Makefiles. On some hosts, such as
- Ubuntu, this is not the case and the Chapter 5 glibc build can
- fail. To work around the problem, add SHELL=/bin/bash to all the
- `make' commands. For instance, `make install' would become
- `make install SHELL=/bin/bash'. This is not a problem in Chapter
- 6 where /bin/sh is `bash'.
- </p></li>
- <li><p>Bison is missing from the Host Requirements. This is needed
- for Bash in section 5.14. Version 1.875 is the minimum required
- version of Bison.
