This is the reply messge to the thread "Booting from LFS version 6.1.1
Thanks for the reply. I have built and run Linux 2.6.15 on my IBM T42 laptop to build my LFS 6.1.1. When I compiled the kernel, I reused .config file, which I used to build the Linux 2.6.15, with a little exception. For example, using file system Ext2 intead of Ext3. So to answer your question, machine was able to boot into Linux 2.6.15 by using the "same" .config as I used for LFS. I did not run grub, as suggested in the book, because I have already had it. I added the section for LFS in my grub.conf. I did not created initrd.2.6.11-12.img because it is using Ext2. When machine rebooted, it mounts file system, detect USB, and then show up a few more lines (it is too fast I could not see what they are). Afterwards, a blank screen shows up with a blinking cursor at the bottom line of the screen. The cursor is about 10 characters away from the left corner. I suspect that it is the login screen. But I could not see anything. It stays in this mode forever. Any help is greatly appreciated. --- jiatian hong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello there, > > I am pretty new to LFS.
