At least linux is being loaded. It sounds like you have the wrong parameters (e.g. root=/dev/sda5) on your linux line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. The init program should be at /sbin/init. The initial console problem looks like it can't find /dev/console which should be created explicitly. That can be because of the wrong disk partition too. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
