Hi, I've just finished the LFS book and have stumbled on one last problem... I hope.
When rebooting (yeah you guessed it!) I get a kernel panic: VFS: error. So, I thought, as I have a fasttrack 378 sata controller all I'd need to do is make sure that grub was pointing to the right partition, and all the applicable sata kernel options were selected, recompile and bob's yr uncle! but sadly not: ;) Having looked through a vast array of different fixes, it seems like I have exhausted all possibilities. I'm starting to wonder if I need a kernel module for my controller, does anyone know if this is the case? Also, something I noticed while poking around was that after unmounting $LFS in chapter 9.3 all the /mnt/lfs/dev files are missing apart from "console" and "null". Is that right? Below is my set-up as it stands at the moment: vmware disk 20gb 3 partitions: root sda1 swap sda2 usr sda3 grub root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.16.27 root=/dev/hda1 ( I've also tried sda1) fstab /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda2 swap swap pri=1 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 Thanks in advance for your help Nick -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
