Among the requirements for that are: chapter 6 : udev correctly installed kernel config : CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y I also have CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y but that option might not have existed in the old kernel used for LFS-7.1, and indeed might not be required. It certainly does no harm. I remember having problems around LFS-6.8 when I upgraded my server and carried over CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED : if you set that, try turning it off. /etc/fstab : the line for /dev - devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs mode=0755,nosuid 0 0 directories : /dev mount point exists (I guess that was correct, otherwise the bind mount of the host's /dev to /mnt/lfs/dev would have failed). A last thought : if you didn't build the correct disk drivers *into* the kernel (NOT as modules), that can also cause this sort of problem. This is where the a Live CD can be useful: they build everything as modules, using an initrd, so 'lsmod' will tell you which modules were actually installed for your hardware. 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
