I guess that defconfig covers almost everything else that is commonly needed to get a bootable .config. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

[lfs-support] Basic Kernel Configuration
Hello there, I have been spending my time on LFS IRC for a long time now and have noticed that most users who come for help there get stuck at configuring their kernel. Thus, I have written a rather basic guide on how to configure the kernel to get your machine to boot for the first time (disk controllers and filesystem drivers), but not other hardware specific stuff. You can see it here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~krejzi/basic-kernel.txt Any suggestions or additions are welcome.

I will be enabling the static flex library and the tests for automake
will be:
mv -v /usr/lib/libfl.{so,save}
ln -sv libfl.a /usr/lib/libfl.so
make -j4 check
rm -v /usr/lib/libfl.so
mv -v /usr/lib/libfl.{save,so}
All tests pass (or are skipped) and the test time is now reduced to
about 12 SBU.

Re: [lfs-support] Wrong package installed - how to fix?
Actually the issue got resolved now. I added the missing packages to the host environment mentioned on "version_check.sh" script.

Go back to the Host System Requirements page, and make sure your host system actually meets those requirements - not just running the script, but reading the contents of the page. This stuff is important - if you don't get it right, you're going to have problems. Then start from the beginning.
