Well, the VMware virtual machine doesn't have anything weird in it, just a (virtual) NIC, hard drive, floppy, CDROM and memory. The AMD machine also has a Hauppauge Win-TV card in it, but I'm not specifically trying to include it (I'll tackle that after I just get it booting). > Don't start another LFS build until > you are through this step, you'll just waste your time. Agreed! > What did you change from the default kernel configuration after mrproper > (in the 'make menuconfig' step)? Well, the first time I went through and just added what seemed to make sense. When that didn't seem to work, the 2nd time I took the /boot/config-xxxx from a Fedora Core 4 machine, did a "make oldconfig" saying "N" to everything new in it, then did a "make menuconfig" and removed things I knew I didn't have. Also, I had it build without modules, everything in the kernel. > Try booting the liveCD and note all > the hardware detected in the dmesg|less output - try and find these > items in the kernel config and look at the help for each one.

Given that the isapnp diagnostics print, I'm guessing it's whatever comes right after that, but I suppose it could be that, too. Would you do me a favor and (privately) email me a known good .config file? The common thing does seem to be me taking a blind stab at configuring the kernel. Thanks. -- Allen J.
