Hello Did you get any error or warning in the boot?
Press c in the grub then you get a grub console. you write the same line of LFS as the menu.lst but use the <TAB> key to complete path and therefore to check that grub found what it need. I think "root=/dev/hda4/LINUX_FROM_SCRATCH" should be "root=(hd0,3)/LINUX_FROM_SCRATCH" Nadav On 1/20/07, Slackrat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I downloaded the LFS ISO > > I used the LFS ISO as host as I no longer trust the Linux Distro I > have installed and am set to dump it as soon as I can > > Single drive Toshiba M40 Laptop with drive partitioned: > HDA1 NTFS Windows Bootable > HDA2 WIN95/VFAT Windows/Linux non Bootable storage > HDA3 REISER Linux Bootable > HDA4 REISER Linux non Bootable storage > SWAP NONE - was advised of potential problems on laptop > > I installed LFS into /devhda4/LINUX_FROM_SCRATCH/ after making hda4 > bootable > > No problems on the compiles and only a minor one switching from LILO > to GRUB > > menu.lst is as follows: > Begin /boot/grub/menu.lst > # By default boot the first menu entry. > default 0 > > # Allow 30 seconds before booting the default. > timeout 30 > > # Use prettier colors. > color green/black light-green/black > > # The first entry is for LFS. > title LFS 6.2 LFS-DIR > root (hd0,3) > kernel /LINUX_FROM_SCRATCH/boot/lfskernel-2.6.16.35 > root=/dev/hda4/LINUX_FROM_SCRATCH > > # Boot DOS > title Win$hit > rootnoverify (hd0,0) > chainloader +1 > > # Boot Linux > title Slack > root (hd0,2) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 vga=773 ro > > # Boot Memory Test > title Memory Test > root (hd0,2) > kernel /memtest/memtest.bin > > # EOF > > LFS does not boot > > The other three choices do boot > > I have also moved - using 'cp' - all of the LINUX_FROM_SCRATCH directory > into the root of hda4 to see if this would work > > This does not work either > > I modified 'menu.lst' to reflect the change in location > > I used fdisk to make hda4 bootable then made the LINUX_FROM_SCRATCH > directory but since it was already formatted Reiser, I ignored the > instructions to make the EXT2 filesystem > > Any advise on what I can try next please? > > Does LFS have to be on a partition that already has a working system > on it? > > I had no problems with the actual compiling of the files > > -- > Regards, Slackrat [Bill Henderson] [No _4Q_ for direct email] > -- > http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page > -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
