It sounds like agetty is not being run. It's also possible that you don't have the terminal drivers installed in the kernel. What does /etc/inittab look like? Did you create the /bin/sh link? Do you get any other output, e.g. "Mounting kernel-based file systems:" What is the content of /etc/sysconfig? I don't know what the rc.0, rc.1, etc files are in your rc.d directory are. They are not a part of LFS. Try removing all files/directories in /etc/rc.d and /etc/sysconfig and reinstalling those from the bootscripts tarball. > There don't appear to be any logs generated yet. > Also, the contents of rc.d's subdirectories seem a bit sparse Yes, that it intentional. Those are all you need to get a basic system like LFS up. There are more added in BLFS depending on what you install. > Thanks, > Tony Hartzell > P.S. Is there a web page that describes the boot process before the log > files are opened? I have an ongoing project to revise the boot process description in the book. I'll be making some substantial changes to the book in this area in the next few weeks. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
