(also posted on LinuxQuestions.org in LFS Forum)
Hello, this is a continuation from a thread on the Linux Kernel forum.
I've got my drive being recognized by the kernel, but the system still
won't boot. It results in an error stating:
Checking file systems
/dev/hda3:
Superblock could not be read or does not describe
a correct ext2 file system. {goes on from there}
Looking back at the boot process, I believe the problem actually is
caused by:
Populating /dev with device nodes: [FAIL]
Because my swap partition is also unable to be seen. At this point I'm
stuck. I'm not familiar with the udev and sysfs, but I did follow the
book character for character with obvious exceptions. I even compiled
the kernel with most extras left out (sound, NIC, framebuffering, etc).
The LFS Live CD is what I used and it sees the HD and files just fine
and I'm able to "chroot" into the LFS system after (section 6.2.2 and
6.2.3) "Mounting and Populating /dev" and "Mounting Virtual kernel File
Systems".
Just the booting of the new system can't seem to populate /dev.
Any idea where I can go from here?
