If you are getting a login prompt, your boot is successful. Did you set the root password? For testing, you can edit /set/shadow to have: root::13253:0:99999:7::: You can then login without a root password. Not recommended after you get over your initial problems. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
