Methinks you need to change /etc/fstab.
I CANNOT believe i forgot that :/
Thanks for pointing it out. i swear i must have edited the contents of
fstab 3million times, and not noticed that it was set to the wron
partition.
anyhow, thanks :D
System is up and running, and im off to get
Well, i've got past that problem.
how i fixed it:
tar'd the entire FS
formatted it in windows (dunno why, its just automatic for me)
used cfdisk to turn the whole thing into one big bootable partition
(dev/sdb1), and formatted it to ext3
mounted it as ext3, rather than 2
untar'd everything back

i'm getting another kernal panic, as detailed below:
Warning: unable to open initial console.
Kernal panic: not syncing: no init found. Try passing the init= option

what should i pass? please inform :D
I had that too sometime ago. As
Ok, fixed it.
Setting the rootdelay to 10 gave me enough time to notice the USB was
being mounted as sdb1, not sda1. a quick vim edit of the grub.cfg file
fixed that :D
kernel seems to be doing fine now, but now INIT is thrown a tantrum
(ergh, it's endless with me :/)
Here is what is

Well, i have finished compiling everything in ch6 no problemo, but ive
now run into trouble in ch8.
a bit of background:

i am compiling onto a USB flashdrive, 4gb in size. it is mounted on the

As advised on the IRC channel, i have NOT partitioned the drive so,
instead of (say) /dev/sda1, i am compiling on /dev/sdb (no partition number)

Does it work if you use a partition? Is there some reason why you can't
use a partition?

I was advised against doing so on the IRC channel, so as to save space,
etc. There is no reason as to why i cannot use a partition, however i am
not exactly comfortable at setting up partition

Booting the USB works no problem, the GRUB menu comes up with the two
options (LFS and LFS recovery), and when one is run, it
I'm making a *swag* on this. I'll bet your 'sdb' is called 'sdb1' or has
a uuid given to it by the Ubuntu kernel. Open a terminal in Ubuntu and
run `dmesg` (You can pipe to `grep` and search for sdb if you don't want
to read the whole thing.) Find where the Ubuntu kernel recognizes and
mounts

no, it isnt, i checked. everything is mounted as sdb, without a

What's the same answer? Can you post the results of df?

I'm not very sure I can help, but the uuid is created by mkfs, when the
partition is formatted under whatever distro you are using.
