Re: [lfs-support] Restart LFS Installation After Interruption (Section 6)
I think that a reply like the following would have been more helpful: To get started to continue LFS after restart: For chapter 6: su - lfs su mount -v --bind /dev $LFS/dev mount -vt devpts devpts $LFS/dev/pts mount -vt tmpfs shm $LFS/dev/shm mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys chroot $LFS /tools/bin/env -i \ HOME=/root TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \ /tools/bin/bash --login +h cd sources Wayne Sallee wa...@waynesallee.com Bruce Dubbs wrote: Yuan Cao wrote: Hello, I hope this is the right place for post this. According to the note on section 6.4 Entering the Chroot Environment, I would need to go through sections 6.2.2, 6.2.3 and then use the chroot command as given in section 6.4, if I shut down my computer at any point in section 6. I hope you can add to the note in section 6.4 that a person might also need to remount the partition by following the first 2 commands in section 2.4 Mounting the New Parition first to remount the partition. After shutting down, and starting it up again, I kept getting errors when trying instructions on sections 6.2.2 and 6.2.3. That's when I noticed that /mnt/lfs was empty. When I mount my LFS partition, all my files came back. This is probably too basic of a problem for most. But, I think it would be a good idea to mention it for completeness sake. This is too basic. I'll refer you to section vi. Prerequisites. Building an LFS system is not a simple task. It requires a certain level of existing knowledge of Unix system administration in order to resolve problems and correctly execute the commands listed. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: [blfs-support] Nettle Dependency
Jason Yailm wrote: Dear Mr. Dubbs, In following the instructions for the installation of nettle, I realized that in order to create the libhogweed libraries, I needed gmp. As you can see here after the Now, as the root user: statement in the Installation of Nettle section, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/nettle.html the installation implies the creation of a /usr/lib/libhogweed.so.2.5 file. I do not have gmp, and this family of libraries was not created for me. After installing gmp, the previous directions did create the hogweed family. These messages should go to blfs-support, not me personally. gmp is installed in LFS. -- Ntuvr -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: [lfs-support] Kernel file not found

Hi
I've built LFS six times and never had this issue. After rebooting I'm
getting an error saying 'file /boot/lfskernel-3.12.5 not found'
My 'grub.cfg' file from the host system(also LFS)reads:
# Begin /boot/grub/grub.cfg
set default=0
set timeout=20
set root=(hd0,7)
menuentry LFS6, Linux 3.12.1-lfs-7.2 {
linux /boot/lfskernel-3.12.1 root=/dev/sda7 ro
}
menuentry LFS7, Linux 3.12.5-lfs-7.4 {
linux /boot/lfskernel-3.12.5 root=/dev/sda6 ro
}
How is this? Spelling is all correct in /boot. The host 'LFS6' boots fine.
You're missing set root=(hd0,6) for in the LFS7 menu entry.

[lfs-support] Systemd branch now considered usable
Hello there, After many months since lfs systemd branch was created, I am pleased to announce that I consider it being usable for everyone that wants to use it. I've managed to add missing bits to the branch today and doing that I've finished what it was necessarry to bring it up to par with current lfs development. There are some minor things missing like dependencies for new packages, but I do not consider it critical to affect anything related to the system built using the mentioned instructions. In another thread, Bruce mentioned that: We plan on the next LFS version on March 1st with a package freeze probably around mid-February. We will try to follow LFS freeze and release date and if it seems possible, we will release lfs-systemd-stable whatever the next stable version is along with lfs-stable. For anyone out there who has spare time and motivation, I'd like to test the instructions and report back if there are any problems. I will also accept any fixes that may concern lfs systemd, be it a spelling or gramatical fix, instructions fix or even instructions enhancements. You can clone lfs-systemd book using svn co svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/LFS/branches/systemd To create a patch, just change what's necessary and do svn diff somename.patch and send the patch either to me directly, to lfs-dev development list or attach it to lfs trac ticket. Please specify systemd as version in lfs trac. Since I am not native English speaker, I expect that there will be many gramatical or spelling mistakes, especially in chapter 7, where the most changes occoured. For anyone that wants to read the book online can do so by going to http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/systemd/ Latest daily regenerated book is also available for download as html and pdf from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/systemd/ Please allow it at least 12 hours to regenerate and include my latest changes. Thanks to LFS team, specificaly Bruce and Matt and everyone else who contributed to LFS book since at first Matt's, and later mine work on lfs systemd was based on it. Also, big thanks to BLFS team for maintaining systemd specific packages in BLFS, from which the instructions in lfs systemd were based. Happy holidays and happy compiling to everyone! -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
