Hi Alexander,
Following;
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/bootcd-2.6-udev-nptl.txt
I finished building BLFS LiveCD and burned it on CD-RW, all files not
being compressed except /usr which was compressed with squashfs; (ISO
image size about 430MB)
compressed /usr as usr.sqfs
removed /usr
mkdir /usr
mount usr.sqfs /usr/
all went through without complaint
Now the adventure started. On booting it popup
Verify DM1 Pool Data
Boot from CD
ISOLINUX 3.11 2005-09-02-Copyright(0)
1994-2005 H.Peter Anviin
Missing parameter in Config file
Could not find kernel image : lfskernel
Boot:
It hung here.
Which Config file was referred? If .config of /usr/src/linux-2.6.11/
the directory has been removed including .config. If it needs the
.config file where I shall I put it? (I have it saved on another
partition)
Which kernel image it referred? At the end of recompiling kernel, I
ran;
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/lfscdkernel && cp System.map /boot/
# cat /mnt/livecd/boot/grub/menu.lst
default 0
timeout 30
color green/black light-green/black
title LFS LiveCD
# root (hd0,5)
root
kernel /boot/lfscdkernel root=/ vga=795
title Windows
# rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Remark: also tried "kernel /boot/lfskernel root=/ vga=795"
# cat /mnt/livecd/etc/fstab
# file system mount-point type options
dump fsck

Please shed me some advise where shall I check. TIA
