I've had a quick look, again, at your earlier thread and I don't see
any evidence that you have broken the host. I'm not saying that you
have not, but wiping the host is not a common approach and
everything in LFS is intended to keep the host system usable.
The normal approach to a failed build is:
1. Look for evidence of what went wrong (that includes looking at
your command history to see if you missed something). I agree
that you seem to have come to the end of that.
2. The next approach is to unmount the partition where you are
trying to build LFS, and start over. I see that you did check the
host requirements last time, but it looks as if one of the
following three things might have happened:
(a) Doing the chapter 5 build, or part of it, as user root. If that
was the case then yes, maybe you did destroy the host.
(b) Not setting LFS at some point.
(c) Missing some instructions (often caused by either not reading to
the end of the page, or by 'turning over two pages'). Can also
happen if people try to paste instructions from a PDF - don't do
that, use the html.
Good luck!
