[lfs-support] pstree show wrong info
I've post it to upstream, but no response yet. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=3537508group_id=15273atid=115273 It happend when lots of processes is running, such as compiling somethings. Anyone can reproduce it ? 22.16 is normal init-+-acpid |-agetty |-klogd |-ntpd |-screen-+-bash---openwrt.sh---make---sh---make---bash---make---make---make---sh | |-bash | `-bash---pstree |-sshd-+-sshd---sshd---sftp-server | `-sshd---sshd---bash---screen |-syslogd `-udevd---udevd but since 22.17 and later init-+-2*[screen-+-bash---openwrt.sh---make---sh---make---bash---make---make---make---sh] | |-bash] | `-bash---pstree] |-bash---pstree |-bash---openwrt.sh---make---sh---make---bash---make---make---make---sh |-acpid |-agetty |-klogd |-ntpd |-sshd-+-sshd---sshd---sftp-server | `-sshd---sshd---bash---screen |-syslogd `-udevd---udevd and htop can display the right things. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Try: search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 125c5cdd5c5cbd63 Notice that '--set' needs the arguement '=root' in this case. If needed to 'trick' Windows into believing it is on the first partition, add this line right above 'chainloader +1' : drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} You're both genius, Ellies! As you recommended, following menuentry sorted the no argument specified out: menuentry Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda3) { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,msdos3)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 125c5cdd5c5cbd63 drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} chainloader +1 } Thank you very much, both Ellies specially Elly#2 ;) Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 10:55:24 +0100 From: a...@benton.eu.com To: lfs-support@linuxfromscratch.org Subject: Re: [lfs-support] Cannot boot to LFS with seperate boot partition Is there an ext3.mod?

When I formatted the boot partition with ext3, I thought I should rewrite insmod ext2 to insmod ext3.

I've searched this mailing list's archives and an example /etc/fstab I found was a bit different to mine. I also had a look at the /etc/fstab files on a Ubuntu and Debian systems, but they weren't as detailed as mine. In particular, I'd like to know whether it is my /boot partition or / partition that has to be checked by fsck. Is it OK for /boot to be ext3, or should I have made it ext2? Googling it suggests that it's probably better for it to be ext2, but ext3 should do fine as well. The /boot partition is rarely written. The purpose of a journaled file system is to recover written data in a cache that is in the journal an not properly committed to the disk in the case of a power/system failure.
