Yeah, you're missing the initramfs and the init scripts that tell the kernel to continue loading the system from the CD, not from a partition as it would usually do. I can't recall off-hand if Alex wrote anything about how to include the initramfs into a custom kernel. For starters, look through the README on the CD. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
