Hello, I have just finished the installation of LFS-8.3 on a 64 bits (i7) machine, and it boots (fairly) well. I've had to create and configure the grub files and scripts in the host machine. In this case the /etc/grub.d/11_LFS-os is quite simple, based in paragraph 8.4.4 of the book, but does the job.
The problem is that Tux doesn't appear at boot time! (-: I mean that the resolution is smaller than expected (lets say bigger font size...). In fact you can't see the usual change of resolution shortly before Tux pops in. I guess that there is an issue with the VGA resolution, that remains (in text mode?) even after login. I've revised the dmesg output, and compared it with other LFS that I have in 32 bits machines. I have also tried different "menuentry" specifications for de vga, but with no results. I would appreciate any help or hint about this issue. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. -- ---------------- Daniel Gutiérrez -- 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.
