-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hallo,
I am a happy user of LFS on a 32 bit system for quite some years now, and I was looking out for something new ;) So I assembled a system with Athlon64 (no X2) and SATA disk only in AHCI mode (CD is PATA), and it nearly worked ;), so now I have a pure64 system. Building went fine with r2145, apart from 2 issues. 1. I stumbled upon the boot loader not being available and had to dig quite a bit to continue there. The 64bit-LFS-book simply has commented out the chapter about grub, but happily continues to talk about grub install and configure, though it's never built. I found an old mailing list entry for clfs, telling me that grub does not build on amd64, which is correct (I tried 0.96, 0.97 and 1.96, and configure failed at different stages). LILO does work, although it doesn't look as sleek as grub ;) 2. keyboard mapping files are not installed, and for non-US keyboards it's quite challenging to get things done (although I was used the US keyboard on my apple II ages ago). Came around it finally ;) After I had some unreproducible problems with the canned 2.6.22.1 (ethernet and rtc not recognized) I simply decided to go for the latest kernel 2.6.24.2, and it works fine. Only thing was to switch on "experimental drivers" to get access to the k8temp module. So now I have a lfs 6.3-unofficial build for amd64 booting and working. Even compiling of openssl and openssh worked, I can login remotely (the most important for me). Now I start thinking what to do with this machine ;) Kudos to the LFS developers! BTW: can anyone help me out with correct sensors.conf for my mainboard? It's an MSI Neo V2 (7369 rev 1.1) with 83627dgh chip. This is supported by lm_sensors and reports data like vbat and cpu fan, but the formulas and assignment for +5 and +12 (in6/in1) seem not to match reality. +5 is ok, but it's in1, not in6, and the formula for +12 yields a value totally out of bounds, and the formula is off by a factor of ~3.5.
