Sorry, the LiveCD project is dead and this bug will never be fixed. Moreover, as it is a kernel bug, this means that even if you build LFS from some other host, it will suffer from the same bug. As a workaround, I would suggest blacklisting the drivers for your network cards, "linux blacklist=r8169" or something similar. -- Alexander E.
