Did you not select CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS in the kernel .config ?

Until you can get everything running, it is a bit hard to get to a shell - as I think I said before, on non-nfs you can add init=/bin/bash and then step through the bootscripts, but I've no idea if you can do that with an nfs root. For the kernel, you should _not_ select CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED but you should enable CONFIG_DEVTMPFS (probably not relevant to this problem, but I can't guess how you arrived at yoyuur current .config). On an LFS system with a disk for the rootfs, you need to build in the disk controller and the filesystem(s). I'm sure that is also true for an nfs root, if you intend to access a disk. Or perhaps you don't have CONFIG_BLOCK set ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
