Few mismatches around kernel name in chapter 8 of LFS-BOOK-6.6.pdf
Mismatch N1
in sections "8.3.3. Contents of Linux"
Original line (mismatch form):
"Installed files: config-2.6.32.8, lfskernel-2.6.32.8, and
System.map-2.6.32.8"
should be changed to the correct form:
"Installed files: config-2.6.32.8, vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6, and
System.map-2.6.32.8"
because:
- section "8.3.1. Installation of the kernel" say:
The filename below can be changed to
suit your taste, but the stem of the filename should be vmlinux to be
compatible with the automatic setup of the boot
process described in the next section. The following command assumes an
x86 architecture:
cp -v arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6
- original line (mismatch form in 8.3.3.) followed by "Short
Descriptions", where is vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6 (but
not a lfskernel-2.6.32.8) descripted.
Mismatch N2
In section "8.4.2. Setting Up the Configuration" for contents of
/boot/grub/grub.cfg wrongly printed menuentries
"GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30.2-lfs65"* from previous version of LFS,
mismatching to /boot/vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6 in
the same print and to the actions of above sections of LFS6.6.
(Possible reason of mistake somwhere near error inside xml-version error
(see
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/browser/trunk/BOOK/chapter08/grub.xml),
where hardcoded "Linux 2.6.30.2-lfs65",
instead it should be something like ""Linux &linux-&version" as it already
done there for "linux /boot/vmlinux-&linux-version;-lfs-&version;
root=/dev/sda2 ro single")
P.S.
Btw, may be vmlinuz-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6 instead of vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6
will be more closer to some linux naming traditions, if "cp -v
arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6" command involved?
i.e. if "bzImage" means "big ZIPed (compressed) Image", then 'z' in vmliuz
will illustrate it, especialy according to the some purposes of LFS
("learning experience" and "power that information and knowledge truly
bring" (see the Audience section of book ;))
