Could you give some details about partition type, and hard drive ( (P)ATA / SATA ). And you should check kernel configuration. Also, you could add the following option to the kernel line: vga=6 which gives you more small letters, and now, you can watch a bigger part of the kernel booting process, somwhere in the process it should display that it found your hard drive, and displays which partitions are on that drive. If it's correct, it should display something like hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 If you see that, i'm nearly sure that it is a problem with your filesystem, like Alan said, you should check if it's compiled directly into the kernel, and not as a module. If you don't see that, then your kernel probably doesn't find you hard drive, and you need to compile drivers for it into the kernel. If you don't see hda, but something else like sda: sda1 sda2 sda3, then you should change the root= to root=/dev/sda3 Tijnema -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
