Thanks.

That's why I prefer newsgroups to mailing lists. I have to subscribe to 
a mailing list to report bugs.

 JH: Fixed. The book is rendering now, so if you refresh that page in a 
 JH: few minutes, you should see the change.

Thanks for the fast fix. As it seems, you are somehow responsible for a 
lot of stuff, I will send you some other bugs I found in the 
multi-arch/ppc book (by mail, not to the list). Sorry, but I'm to lazy 
to send a mail to subscribe, a mail to confirm, a mail with the bugs and 
a mail to unsubscribe the dev-list.

Blame me for that and put my mail address in your spam filter if you 
don't want the other mail with the bug reports.

Re: stuck at glibc-2.3.4

2005-05-08 Thread Asif Baloch
Hi, 
Thanks for writing back. I was up till 5am in the morning trying to
fix the problem and just when i recompiled the kernel 2.6.8.1, google
and gmail went down. Cofigure now goes smoothly. however, make gets
stuck asking for TLS support is required Now im remaking the kernel
2.6.8.1 with gcc-3.4.1 so that all the host requirements are
fullfilled :) Lets hope i bypass this ...

regards,

Asif Baloch

You don't have to subscribe to the mailing lists to post (just ask the 
spammers!).  Not subscribing means that you'll have to request CC's of 
any mails you're interested in though, and relying on folks to honour 
that request.

Regards,
Matt.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information! I just bounced the 
last message to the dev-list.

Re: Kernel-panic ... damn, oh damn

 After 45 minutes of intense fighting with Grub I managed to get past the
 error 15 and later an error 1 ... somehow it couldn't figure out that

 That works now. But after having mounted the partitions, LFS comes up
 with this n00b-error (I'm the n00b): Kernel panic. No init found. Try
 passing init= option to the kernel.

 Please give some more details: which HDD is / ? How does your
 /boot/grub/menu.lst file look? Is the /sbin/init file there?

Okay, here it goes:

# Begin /etc/fstab

# file system  mount-point  type   options dump   fsck
# order

/dev/hdd3   /   ext3   defaults   0  0
/dev/hdd1   /boot   ext3   defaults   0  0
/dev/hdd2   /usrext3   defaults   0  0
/dev/hdd5   /home   ext3   defaults   0  0
/dev/hdd6   /varext3   defaults   0  0
/dev/hdd7   /usr/local  ext3  defaults0  0
/dev/hdd8   /tmpext3   defaults   0  0
/dev/hda5   /mnt/hda5 vfat defaults   0  0

/dev/hda6   swapswap   pri=1 0  0
/dev/hdd9   swapswap   pri=1 0  0

and some virtual fs's but they don't matter here.

The fact about Grub that DJ-Lucas pointed out (/boot on it's own
partition, / on another and so on), was exactly what I realized too. Even
though the reasons for it seems obscure to me. But it got fixed.



/boot/grub/menu.lst

# Begin /boot/grub/menu.lst

# Boot first menu entry as default
default 0

# Set time to wait before loading default
timeout 2

# Use prettier colors
color red/white blue/white

# LFS-6.0-2.6.8.1
title Linux From Scratch 6.0-2.6.8.1
root (hd1,0)
kernel /lfskernel-2.6.8.1 root=/dev/hdd1

# Win2k
title Windows 2000 Professional
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

... as anyone can see /sbin/init is no where to be found. I'll try that
option right right away. I've tried with init=/etc/inittab and
init=/bin/bash to no avail. But then /bin/bash isn't /sbin/init ;)

I'll be back in a couple of minutes or so :D
