Dear Team,
I am facing a problem with eth0 not found during LFS booting time.
for your reference here i am attaching the screenshot (LFS2.png).
If you are using a VMW product, the kernel needs CONFIG_VMXNET3 set
(sorry, cannot remember where it is, but you can find if it is set with
$ grep CONFIG_VMXNET3 /boot/config-something
If not, it will appear like:
# CONFIG_VMXNET3 is not set
In this case, the kernel must be rebuilt with the good configuration.
You can use "/" to search in menuconfig.
VMware Player uses e1000 (Intel Gigabit Ethernet). Older versions used
pcnet32 (AMD Pcnet32 or something like that). VMXNET3 is not default.
I've quickly tested these three options: vmxnet3, e1000 and pcnet32,
each alone in the kernel and only e1000 gets correctly configured after
boot with a new minimal LFS.
This has been done with a new VM, created in VMware Workstation 10.
Older versions probably offer PCNet32 to the guest machine. And VMXNET3
seems to be "activated" after you install WMware tools.
So, the safest bet is probably to go for e1000 drivers in a new LFS
system with recent VMware Workstation versions.

ALZ.
