Well, i've got past that problem. how i fixed it: tar'd the entire FS formatted it in windows (dunno why, its just automatic for me) used cfdisk to turn the whole thing into one big bootable partition (dev/sdb1), and formatted it to ext3 mounted it as ext3, rather than 2 untar'd everything back onto it re-installed GRUB and the kernal, with a few more options ticked. voila!
...but now there's another issue.... i'm getting another kernal panic, as detailed below: Warning: unable to open initial console. Kernal panic: not syncing: no init found. Try passing the init= option to the kernal. what should i pass? please inform :D thanks for your help on the partition issue, Saxon Landers -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
