The kernel on the LFS LiveCD is rather old and definitely doesn't boot either my laptop or my desktop that I used to do build testing. Also it still refers to ide devices as hdx# instead of sdx#. (It also does this for some SATA controllers.) Probably needs an update. I doubt it will matter too much if it isn't updated. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
