Apart from what has already been said, you didn't tell us what you have managed to do (e.g. with init=/bin/bash you end up with a read-only root filesystem - I get the impression you have gone past that). So everybody is guessing. But to be honest, most of us don't want to debug your bootscripts, in the same way that most of us don't want to debug the details of why somebody else's build-scripts fail. Creating your own bootscripts may be a worthwhile approach (with the downside that you will then be on your own for everything you later need to start when you get to whichever other packages you want to run ;) but you might find it easiest to begin by working out what the individual LFS bootscripts do, and use them as guidance for things you want to do. From this initial question, I assume you have not mounted /proc. Some people think not mounting /proc is a valid choice, but I think it is a cause of pain. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
