So, that part of your output is normal. I'm wondering if you have no console on which to see the later output. If you mount your new system at /mnt/lfs from the host, and *do not* bind the host's /dev, does /mnt/lfs/dev contain console (char special device 5 1) and null (char special device 1 3) ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
