The lastest stable version is 9.0, published 2019-09-01. Gentoo and Arch work with 9.0, as did SystemRescueCd on a USB stick. The host system requirements are listed here: http://linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter02/hostreqs.html Read that page and follow the instructions, using the version-check.sh to see if your host system is compatible. If it does past the tests, and you still have problems, post to the lfs-support ML.
