Hi, everyone - I've just about finished putting together an LFS system (BLFS) using v 6.3, rc2, of the book; it's using one partition of a drive with several O/S's installed on it & the GRUB that was there is booting all of them.
The problem I'm having is this: when the system hits sysklogd in what appears to be runlevel 3 and runs "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sysklogd start", the machine just sits there. It's not locked up; it'll respond to <ctrl><alt><del> && the caps lock light still works on the keyboard. I can't ^c out of the service though. sysklogd prints my message && "Starting system log daemon", then nothing; the system just sits there... Unfortunately for me I'm not leaving much in the way of a trail because the system log daemon isn't running yet. Does this sound familiar to anyone, and/or can anybody think of a good way to go about debugging this? I tried running the binary "syslogd" already; it seems to run fine in the chroot(). Best I can think of is to start hacking at /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions && putting print stmts in it until I (hopefully) find out where it's dying - I'm really hoping somebody can come up with something better than that...
