And lastly, maybe now is really the time to encourage newbies to build the kernel they're planning to use under LFS on their host distro (if possible) before starting to build LFS. At least then they'll know if it is going to work for them. ?

Indeed this is what I have been doing for some time. Since I don't build a vanilla LFS any more (no LFS-bootscripts, sysVinit or syslog), I like to reduce the number of variables and building a known-good kernel on the host (usually either Gentoo ~X86 or an older LFS build anyway) improves my chances of a good first boot. I also usually boot first with init=/bin/bash, but that's another story...
