Sometimes, trivial differences in hardware or the host kernel can cause problems that only a very few people ever experience. This can also happen with releases, but the odds should be better. Your previous posts suggest you have experience, but it is not current [ specifically, you mentioned 2.4 kernel headers - LFS has been on 2.6 for *many* years, and a great many things about how we build have changed in that time ]. As package versions change, you need to refresh your experience - I've been out of active development for some months now, and I know that areas of my knowledge are now suspect. As a bystander, I have the impression you are taking some of the advice people have given you, but ignoring other advice. Often, the important advice for solving a problem comes in small pieces, from several different people. Respectfully, I suggest that you use a released version of the book at the moment, and do not make changes. When you have successfully built a recent system, plus enough other packages to make it useful to you, feel free to change whatever you wish - but try to change only small parts at one time, so that you can more easily debug the breakages which will happen. 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
