I've move on to GRUB2. I don't remember the details of GRUB Legacy.

The kernel needs to be able to find /sbin/init. If you don't tell it where it's root partition is, how can it find it. Most distros now search for a UUID on a partition, but that requires an initrd which is beyond the scope of LFS. There is a hint though: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/initrd.txt -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
