Hi,
I am fairly new to linux and decided to try LFS to get my knowledge up
a bit.
I installed it with the normal procedure, (I believe i followed every single
letter of the LFS book) and installed everything with tests showing that
everything was compiled correctly.
My system has a bit heavy partitioning on a single hd (I have an acer
laptop):
hd1: Windows,
hd2: Extended
hda5: Linx swap (Suse 10.1)
hda6 Suse 10.1 ( / ) Reiser
hda7: (/home) Reiser (for Suse)
hda8: Linux swap (LFS) 1gb
hda9: LFS ext3 9gb
I didn't install grub, since Suse had it already. I just added an LFS
menu entry and made the appropriate choices:
title LFS 6.2: (/boot/grub/menu.lst addition in SUSE partition)
root (hd0,8)
kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.16.38 root=/dev/hda9
When i boot i get this error, that seems to be a standard for some persons:
VFS: kernel panic cant' mount device /dev/hda9 or unkown - block(0,0)
I must mention that standard booting seems to start, since i see messages from
device setup (like usb, ASLA, hard disks etc.). I also don't have the LFS
partition as boot (I am not certainly i shouldn't but i think this shall just
be on main partition that is hda1 (W95 FAT32 (LBA))
I followed the info in the faq and the info in various mailing list
entries. I also tried to boot lfs using my SUSE's kernel. I recompiled kernel
with various configs (including the SUSE's config). I also played with grub
start-up changing root=... option. To me it smell udev realted, but still can't
say.
Has anybody of those that faced this problem solved it? Can someone else give
an advice furthermore?
Thanks in advance
Nasos
