For a normal (native) system I would say that you either failed to compile the filesystem or the correct disk driver (or both!) into the kernel.

Which driver(s) is CentOS using for the disk (I guess you can get them from the list of instaled modules), and have you compiled these ? Because the kernel fails to list any available partitions, it suggests some sort of driver is missing. ISTR vmware is proprietary software, perhaps you need to compile a vmware kernel module for the LFS kernel. ĸen -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
