Finally i get my LFS os working :D
i want to share with you some issue/solution and some questions too ;)
---------------------------issue 1--------------------------
I 0.997150] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.10.10 #1
I 0.997168] Hardware name: VMware, Inc. VMware Virtual Platform/440BX Desktop
Reference Platform, BIOS 6.00 07/02/2012
.
I 0.997550] I<c1682b17>] ret_from_kernel_thread+Ox1b/0x28
I 0.997570] I<c1665c20>] ? rest_init+0x60/0x60
--------------------------issue1----------------------------
it was my virtual scsi hard disk which was configured with LSI Logic as
recommended by vmwarethus
thus i set this flags as flow :
CONFIG_VMWARE_BALLOON=y
CONFIG_VMWARE_PVSCSI=y
and i use # make localyesconfig to enables the drivers as in-kernel (no module)
and this solve my problem may be this is not the optimal way but i work for me.
see : swift.siphos.be/linux_sea/kernelbuilding.html
see : techinlive.com/main/knowledge/build-linux-from-scratch-on-vmware
later i found that this issue may be fixed if enabled in the kernel config menu
:
Device Drivers --->[*] Fusion MPT device support --->
<*> Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SPI
<*> Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for FC
<*> Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SAS
i didn't try yet if someone else had tested this thank to share :)
now my hard disk is detected :D but when booting i get a second error message :s
---------------------------issue 2--------------------------
VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknows-block(8,1)
---------------------------issue 2--------------------------
it seem that LFS see my disk as sdb and not sda!?
see : techinlive.com/main/knowledge/build-linux-from-scratch-on-vmware
thus i change both grub.cfg and fstab
cat > /etc/fstab << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/fstab
# file system mount-point type options dump fsck
# order
/dev/sdb1 / ext4 defaults 1 1
/dev/sdb2 swap swap pri=1 0 0
proc /proc proc nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /run tmpfs defaults 0 0
devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs mode=0755,nosuid 0 0
# End /etc/fstab
EOF
and
cat > /boot/grub/grub.cfg << "EOF"
# Begin /boot/grub/grub.cfg
set default=0
set timeout=5
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,1)
menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 3.10.10-lfs-7.4" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.10-lfs-7.4 root=/dev/sdb1 ro
}
EOF
and it work !
Question :
1. why LFS see my disk as sdb ??
2. when i try to set flag CONFIG_VMWARE_BALLOON=y i make a search on kernel
config menu and i get :
│ Symbol: VMWARE_BALLOON [=n]
│
│ Type : tristate
│
│ Prompt: VMware Balloon Driver
│
│ Location:
│
│ -> Device Drivers
│
│ (4) -> Misc devices
│
│ Defined at drivers/misc/Kconfig:427
│
│ Depends on: X86 [=y] && HYPERVISOR_GUEST [=n]
but when i go to Device Drivers > Misc devices the VMWARE_BALLOON is missing !!
even if i put it manualy to .config or load it from an other file it still
messing ?!
wish my post help someone else and special thank to Bruce

This is almost always due to not having the right drivers installed in
the kernel. In your case, it looks like you are using vmware.
When in the virtual host, look at lsmod and see what drivers are needed.
Also look at /dev to see what the disk drives are named. If not sda,
adjust this as needed in both grub.cfg and fstab.
