This is my first LFS system. I have completed most of the 6.0 LFS book but have hit a brick wall in section 8.4. I am only a beginner-intermediate Linux user so I will describe what I have done in as much detail as I can (sorry if it's not relevant).
I currently have windows xp, but I want to dual boot with LFS. I partitioned my SATA hard drive (using partition magic) into 3 partitions: windows (sda1), LFS (sda5), and swap (sda6). I am using Knoppix 3.7 to build the LFS system. Everything went relatively smoothly until I reached section 8.4. I ran the grub shell and tried root ( followed by a TAB but grub just displayed root ( without any other completions. I tried root(hd0, + TAB root(hd1, + TAB ... root(hd7, + TAB and it always returned the same error message: Error 21: Selected disk does not exist Beyond hd7 grub returned root(hd8, + TAB Error 12: Invalid device requested I ran grub in Knoppix and it behaved in exactly the same way. I looked up the grub documentation and it is not supposed to distinguish SCSI drives from IDE drives. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
