Hi everyone!
I m using LFS 6.0
- I have reached to chapter 8. My kernel installation
is complete. Now I m trying to make my lfs sys
bootable.
-For this when I run command ‘root (hd0,2)’ on grub
prompt it shows error msg ‘specified device does not
exist’.
-Even when I use TAB for command completion, it does
not list out my hard drive. (Shows only - fd0,cd)
-When I try to mount any of the hard drive partition
on chrooted environment it shows ‘device does not
exist’.Nor does it lists any of the partition as
output of ‘fdisk –l’ cmd.
Is the devices listen in /dev when your in chroot? If not you should
probably run udevstart to create the necesary devices.
Also, did you do the fake mounts before entering chroot (beginning of ch6)?
One last thing, you don't have to run grub inside the chroot. It can be
run from the host system as long as you set the correct root device. For
example: root (hd0,2) and then setup (hd0), to setup MBR on hda and have
grub boot from partition hda3.
Hope that helps, but I really suspect it's just the devices in /dev that
hasn't been created.
