But ... I've now got to the end of chroot on my i686 system where SCSI_DEBUG is NOT set. root in chroot /# grep PASSED \ /logs/LFS-7.4-i686-1/chroot/util-linux-2.23.2.log.check | tail -n 1 All 113 tests PASSED root in chroot /# zgrep SCSI_DEBUG /proc/config.gz # CONFIG_SCSI_DEBUG is not set At the moment we do not encourage people to run the util-linux tests as root. I'm fine with that, but we don't need to worry about SCSI_DEBUG. Perhaps expand the Warning from To run it, the kernel CONFIG_SCSI_DEBUG to To run it as root, the kernel CONFIG_SCSI_DEBUG and list the other BLFS packages, also mention about mtab and point to the docs ? When I first saw the Warning I thought it was necessary to set CONFIG_SCSI_DEBUG to run the tests at all. Now that I know it isn't, I can understand that the current text doesn't say that. But if I made that mistake, I'm sure someone else will. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
