Thanks for all who replied. The system works now after my struggling for a couple of days. Instead of modifying from existing .config file, I started from scratch and do 'make menuconfig'. Then I went through the menu, line by line, and save the .config. After compiling, it appears that i am able to bring up the kernel to login prompt.
One thing needs to be fixed in the LFS version doc: Section 6.11, page 89 after you executes the command make -C ../glibc-2.3.4/linuxthreads/man install Following display shows: Remember to run /usr/sbin/makewhatis /usr/man at some point. I remembered I run the command at the end of this chapter (Chapter 6) when /usr/sbin/makewhatis command is available. Thanks all for the good work. It is a good feeling that newly built kernel being able to work!!! On 2/13/06, David J. Hong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks.
