You don't say which version of the book you are following, but it must be at least 2 years old.

So, I guess your host system is fairly recent. You should probably try building from the 6.2 verion of LFS. You could try using a host system from the same time as the book you are following (if this is just a test build, not for 'production'), but recent hardware changes (particularly, the widespread use of SATA disks) might that you might need an old machine as well. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
