Well, i have finished compiling everything in ch6 no problemo, but ive now run into trouble in ch8.
a bit of background: i am compiling on a clean Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64, running under VirtualBox on Windows 7 x64 i am compiling onto a USB flashdrive, 4gb in size. it is mounted on the ubuntu as /dev/sdb on /mnt/lfs. As advised on the IRC channel, i have NOT partitioned the drive so, instead of (say) /dev/sda1, i am compiling on /dev/sdb (no partition number) i installed all my GRUB stuff set to /dev/sdb OK: the issue: Booting the USB works no problem, the GRUB menu comes up with the two options (LFS and LFS recovery), and when one is run, it boots into what i assume is LFS (it has two tux pictures top-left), however after a short abount of time, it declares a kernal panic. The panic outlines that it cannot mount the root partition, and to set the root= in GRUB correctly (it is currently root=/dev/sdb) could someone advise me on how to re-install GRUB (or whatever else needs doing) to fix this issue? Many thanks, Saxon Landers PS and again, thanks to all who helped with the last issue :D -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
