I'm working on building LFS using jhalfs-2.1 on the current live CD. I'm running into two problems.
1) To get a kernel config onto the machine (which has no network access at the moment), I just grabbed a copy of /proc/config.gz . uname -a reports that I'm running 2.6.16.35, which is what is in book 6.2, so it should be a perfect match. Unfortunately, it is not. Theres an option for crypto loopback that doesnt seem to be answered by my config, so I needed to manually answer that one. Since I wasn't around when the question came up, the kernel build failed. So while its easily fixed, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas why the /proc/config.gz would not properly match the kernel build? 2) jhalfs tries to use svn to get the book. What I've been doing to get past that stage is to let jhalfs run, exit when svn fails, then copy /usr/share/LFS-BOOK-6.2-XML/ to /mnt/lfs/jhalfs/lfs-6.2/ and re-running jhalfs. Is there a cleaner way to handle this? It didn't look like there was a way to warn jhalfs not to use svn, but my scripting skills are a little rusty. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
