Howdy,
Last week I built the stock LFS system, Version 7.6-rc1 successfully.
Over the last couple of days I built the systemd LFS system, Version
7.6-systemd-rc2 .
Both installations seem to have suffered the same problem: after
completing the last steps in Section 9.3. "Rebooting the System", and
trying to boot into the new installation, the system would not boot. The
booting process complained that vmlinuz... was not found.
I traced the problem to the contents of /boot getting removed for some
reason. The directory was completely empty, even though all the
installation instructions (see below) worked fine.
In both cases, I had to reinstall the stuff that gets installed in /boot
along the way: the stuff in Section 8.3. "Linux-3.16.2" and Section 8.4.
"Using GRUB to Set Up the Boot Process".
Here's what I reinstalled:
I had left linux-3.16.2 around, so:
cp -v arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.2-lfs-7.6-systemd-rc2
cp -v System.map /boot/System.map-3.16.2
cp -v System.map /boot/System.map-3.16.2
I reinstalled grub, and then:
grub-install /dev/sdb
cat > /boot/grub/grub.cfg << "EOF" . . .
After that, both systems booted.
The stock system booted up with no real issues; the systemd one seems to
have a "Kernel panic" (subject for my next email), but at least it boots.
In both cases I used fresh 1TB hard disks with nothing else on them, for
these experiments.
