chroot problems
Gday everyone, This may not be a LFS issue but I will ask here first since it happened with the LFS build. I am at the stage where I am chroot'ing into the temporary LFS environment but I am having problems. If I run the command: 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 I get the following error; chroot: cannot run command `/tools/bin/env': No such file or directory This is very unusual since the env binary does exist at that location. To try and debug this I try running: chroot $LFS /tools/bin/bash This runs but something strange happens... I have been chroot'ed into a directory that doesn't contain anything, no files, no directories, no nothing. All I can do is run the commands built-in to the bash shell. Now this may be a problem with the chroot provided by my host system so I tried: /tools/bin/chroot / /tools/bin/bash This works perfectly fine. I am at a loss to figure out what has gone wrong does anyone else have a clue? Thanks Russ _ POP access for Hotmail is here!

Does 'ls -l /tools; look like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jul 16 10:59 /tools - /mnt/lfs/tools If that is OK, then I don't know what is wrong. The files programs env and bash are there. Of course you need to run chroot as root. You could also check the libraries: $ ldd /tools/bin/env linux-gate.so.1 = (0xe000) libc.so.6 = /tools/lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7e6e000) /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fbd000) You could also remove one level of indirection with: chroot /mnt/lfs /tools/bin/env -i ... -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

If I make a symlink of /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2 - /lib/ld-linux.so.2 everything in coreutils works perfectly. Now I suspect since glibc is the first thing to be built that this one symlink isn't going to effect the system since it will be replaced by the real thing before anything else gets compiled. Am I right in thinking this or will I need to fix coreutils before I continue? Thanks Russ _ POP access for Hotmail is here!

The safe way is to start over... -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Chroot problems
I've gotten through chapter 5 with no problems, but I have trouble once I'm in the chroot environment. No apparent problems mounting the kernel virtual filesystems, goes into chroot fine, but once I'm in it I have trouble. I enter a command, the command goes through and does it's thing, but then it hangs and won't return to the prompt. Can't kill it, either, it just sits there doing nothing. ps shows it as defunct. So I can't do any of chapter 6 because of this. My host is Ubuntu. Any thoughts on what I must do? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

This is a known issue - bash has a bug, fixed in the WCONTINUED patch you can find on the LFS website. Just rebuild Chapter 5 bash with this patch, and the hangs should disappear. -- - Steve Crosby -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
