I thought that I'd found my problem there over the last few days but false hope I'm afraid. I found that you need block devices in the kernel for ext3 so though that was it. No joy.
I'm coming at this from two sides at present. Like I say installed LFS (6.3) from the LFS Live CD and I've got it all working but I can't get the system to power down or recognise the PCMCIA Wifi Oranoco card. It's on an old Dell Latitude CPt. The Config file that I made from scratch will boot but does no recognise the Card and only prints "pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1" That's all I get. I know from using the card in other linux computers that the driver I want is Orinoco_cs but I've included that in my config. The Kernel that I'm using and the kernel that is in /usr/src of the live cd are both 2.6.22.5. If I use the .config from the liveCD there's a kernel panic as it can't mount the root file system. Thought Block devices would solve that but no such luck. I've got ext3 built into the kernel not as a module but built in. Can't see any mention of SquashFS? Off to search some more before my next kernel build :-) On Dec 24, 2007 10:07 PM, Hugo Grauls <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Didn't you forget support for SquashFS?
