Hello, I've just finished setting up an x86_64 LFS installation on a flash drive. I have followed the LFS 9.0 book almost exactly, except that I upgraded the kernel to 5.2.21, and I'm using UEFI instead of BIOS for GRUB using the hint given in Chapter 8.4. To test the new setup, I ran a QEMU VM using the OVMF EFI, booting from the drive via -hda. It worked fine, booting to the Bash prompt and everything. I then tested the installation on real hardware, but the kernel panicked saying it couldn't find init. But even after setting init=/sbin/init, Linux still panicked saying "Requested init /sbin/init failed (error -2)". I have tried reinstalling sysvinit to no avail, and I have been unable to reproduce the issue in any VM (QEMU, VirtualBox). Loading the kernel manually in QEMU (-kernel) works too, which bypasses the UEFI entirely. I've also tried using different computers, but they still have the same problem. Does anybody have any idea why this may be happening?
