Hello Armin, Sorry but after reading the list I have been too chicken to use the latest version of gcc. I am still using 4.8.2.
This system is systemd and was built using jhalf from the SVN version of the lfs book. I am just trying to do a process of elimination to find out why my system when built following the instructions seems to have its own mind on things. The ONLY things that were different about my previous builds were: 1) Seperate /usr partition 2) Had to use initramfs to "hide" seperate /usr 3) Built the ramfs using redhats dracut. Now I have ditched the seperate /usr and am not using initramfs nor dracut. Though I don't know how they would have effected things, but there was the warning that with a seperate /usr that things would fail in mysterious ways. I am wondering if dracut was interfearing with some things. Now when I boot I do not get the error message about not being able to add swap despite it being mounted there was always that error in the journal log and displayed at boot time. I don't know HOW dracut could have been interfearing, as I *believe* that it is only used in the initramfs and is not running as a process, though I could well be wrong on that. I have never used it before, and it was one of the suggested ways of creating the ramfs. I just wanted it working quickly. Firefox was crashing multiple times which is just plain annoying. I compiled this version of firefox with the send crash report enabled, so if it does its trick of crashing, everytime it will dump the log file on mozillas lap. Regards, Christopher.
