You have configured grub incorrectly, albeit inadvertently. When you boot from your hard drive, that drive will be /dev/sda, forcing the USB drive to be /dev/sdb. However, when you boot from the USB stick, *it* is /dev/sda and the hard drive will be /dev/sdb. So change your LFS to point to /dev/sda and it should work. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
