Greetings All, I've been building LFS systems on and off for more than a decade, but I've been struggling with this one for a while now.
I have my 7.6 system installed, and when I boot, it seems like the kernel loads, and everything goes as it should for a while. But, when it comes time to remount the root file system (which is the one where the kernel was in the first place), it can't find it, kernel panic. I've checked all the relevant /etc and /boot files, and they seem OK, so I suspect this is a matter of some kernel setting which is needed for this particular hard disk, but which is not set properly. All my previous LFS systems were on what I'll call more "consumer" grade hardware, but this one is a more up-market server platform. So I think probably I need to enable some option, some hardware driver, which I never needed before. However, I have tried a bunch of things, and nothing works so far. My LFS 6.3 LiveCD boots on the same hardware no problem, and I can mount the hard disk Linux partition, and do all the things one would normally do to a hard disk, no problem. So my thought was, maybe I can start with the LFS 6.3 kernel settings, do a "make oldconfig" or something similar on the kernel used in 7.6, and see if I can get the 7.6 system to work that way. But I can't find the kernel settings for the LiveCD. Are they on the CD somewhere? Also, if anyone can think of a way to approach this problem which is different than the one I'm pursuing, I'd appreciate any advice. Many thanks.
