Hi Rafael, Please check the following things:
1. Check how many hard drives you have? 2. Is it PATA or SATA drive? SATA drives would be detected as sda1,sda2... sdaN (first drive), sdb1, sdb2....sdbN (second drive) and so on.. 3. Check /dev to see the partitions and devices detected by your host. (use df or mount command as well) 4. check the partition where your LFS sits i.e., if you have one hard drive and /mnt/lfs is in your 2nd partition, you should mention "root (hd0,1)" or try typing tab after root (hd0, it will show you the available partitions. I hope this helps.

After entering grub and issuing the root command -identifying the disk and partition where /boot is located as said in the book- this is is what I get: grub> root (hd0,0) Error 21: Selected disk does not exist Actually, as long as I'm still within chroot, I cannot understand how to "see" a disk and its partitions and/or how is grub going to "see" the same. Just in case you wonder about it, my box has only one hard disk with three partitions: / is mounted on hda1 (hd0,0), swap on hda2 (hd0,1) and /home on hda3 (hd0,2) (yes, of course, as seen from outside chroot, which is LFS LiveCD). Please advise how to get out from this hole.
