Thanks for your help, I restarted and at all times issued source.bash_profile prior to chroot entry and this seems to have done the trick. The kernel now compiles. However the machine will not boot. I get the error
fsck.ext3 no such file or directory. I checked and the fsck.XXX programs are i installed /sbin with permissions 755. Regarding the problem, I do not know if these are related but A) the host is running lilo which so far has booted all the other pure 64-bit builds I have made AND B) initially udev-182 failed o compile on my first go as kmod-10 was mysteriously compiled tested but not installed. This was fixed. C) I also noted some errors in the boot script referring to /bin/udevadm I changed these to /sbin/udevadm and some of the boot errors disappeared leaving the error mentioned above. advice would be much appreciated thanks again lux-integ ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Ken Moffat [[email protected]] Sent: 26 September 2012 19:41 To: BLFS Support List Subject: Re: [blfs-support] linux kernel wont compile, gcc-4.6.3?

It is defined at line 836 in the Makefile, and the result is in include/linux/version.h : 197892 in my 3.5.4 tree after compiling. Looks as if your _shell_ might be the problem. No ideas about what would cause that error, you really need to ask on the clfs lists when you can get to them.
