Hi folks,
I just have finished my (first) LFS build (8.0). The system boots
successfully but I can't login as keyboard is not functional (cursor is
blinking after `hostname login:` message but does not react on
keystrokes). I'm on MacBok Pro 2013 (11,x). Have tried connecting an
external USB keyboard (Das Keyboard) but it makes no difference. I
didn't configure kernel besides recommendations from section 8.3.1 of
the book and didn't loaded any third party kernel modules. Everything
is OK in /var/log/boot.log. I don't see any errors in kern.log on
glance. A couple of lines like:
rc (103) used greatest stack depth: 13024 bytes left
But that's probably because I increased LOGLEVEL from 7 to 8. I use
systemd-boot to launch the kernel using EFISTUB if it matters.
Where should I look for a cause of the problem? I can post system logs
it that would be useful. Thank you in advance for any help.
I had a similar problem with LFS 8.0 last week. I'm not completely sure
how I solved it, since I recompiled and rechecked a lot of stuff, but I
think the crucial thing was to *carefully* go over the "make menuconfig*
stuff in linux-4.9.9 and recompile the kernel. That solved a similar
problem with systemd booting -- a recompiled kernel booted up ok.
I know nothing about Macbooks, but my motherboard (ASUS) has EFI boot,
so there was a lot of legwork understanding how all that works, before I
could get any system running.
My newbie impression is that if you see a bunch of normal screen
messages, so the kernel is running for a bit. But if the keyboard and
mouse don't power up, the kernel has encountered a fatal error before
that powerup. This can be inferred from the system logs.
