Now, it is almost what I want.

Did that. The two last steps before complete boot, I had forgotten to
add ext4 support and Device Drivers ---> Generic Driver Options --->
Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev (doh!):

$ du -sch /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.5* /usr/src/linux-3.4.5*/ /lib/modules/3.4.5/
5,0M    /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.5-NG-pae
747M    /usr/src/linux-3.4.5-NG-pae/
13M     /lib/modules/3.4.5/
764M    total

It is 12 M less than in the machine which it was cloned from:

$ du -sch /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.5* /usr/src/linux-3.4.5*/ /lib/modules/3.4.5/
5,1M    /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.5-lfs
772M    /usr/src/linux-3.4.5/
1,2M    /lib/modules/3.4.5/
778M    total

Added some modules for lm-sensors to monitor temperatures, fan speed,
etc. This machine has been intermittently crashing, perhaps the other
distro is corrupted, as today there has been no crash.

Installed. A patch and a file edition were necessary.

Yes, thanks.

Now this LFS/BLFS machine, running LXDE, hosts my VM's.

Everything would be perfect, but there is an annoying problem: In my
br-abnt2 keyboard, the key for / and ? is not working in any VM, only in
the host. I recall there is a way to identify the key code and ad this
functionality to it, but can't remember how to do it anymore.

Any ideas? (I am copying these question marks from the host). Perhaps I
will ask in the support list.
