I successfully finished and booted my LFS8.4 system last weekend. It
boots, I can bring up the network and ping places, so I consider it a
success.
But...
I built it on my “main” laptop, which has a 4K screen. The size of raw
text on a 4K screen is what... 1/8” at most?
I recommend using terminus fonts. I like using FONT=ter-128n. See
Chapter 3 of BLFS "About Console Fonts".
I copied all of /mnt/lfs to a USB drive and have been trying to get it
reinstalled on a different laptop, one with a normal 1920x1080 screen.
It took me a bit of fiddling to remove the rEFInd boot manager I had
been using and get GRUB back in place. I’ve gotten GRUB to find and add
my LFS to the boot menu, and the entry looks correct.
But when I try and boot it, I get some bizarre kernel panics - the most
common being about “failure to dereference a null pointer” or words to
that effect.
I backed up in the LFS book and reran everything from unpacking the
LFS-Bootscripts to recompiling and reinstalling the kernel. It still
goes haywire.
Do I need to rebuild the whole thing? Or from a certain point? It’s
unclear how transferrable an LFS build is supposed to be.
Are you rebuilding the kernel on your target system? The only thing
that influences what you describe is the kernel. You haven't even
mounted the root file system yet, so nothing else matters at this point.
