The jmicron driver simply doesn't exist for linux < 2.6.19. So there is no LFS LiveCD release that will work for you, sorry. > That could be a bit of a problem.

Yes, the LiveCD in SVN includes linux-2.6.20.1, with the jmicron driver. I will not backport it to the official 6.2 series. You can, however, try building your own 2.6.20.4 kernel and remastering the 6.2-5 CD. Just make sure that your SATA driver is built as non-module, and that the following configuration variables are set: CONFIG_ZISOFS=y CONFIG_DM_SNAPSHOT=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y and that there is no other non-modular block device driver with dynamic major number (known offenders: software RAID and packet CD writing). This is needed in order for the device mapper to get the major number 254, as expected by the initramfs. -- Alexander E.
