Did you read the hint referenced in Section 8.3? http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/kernel-configuration.txt Now I did. I didn't mean for details to be included in the book. The hint itself also doesn't actually reference many specific options. What I intended was a paragraph or two with the following bits of information: 1. Make sure you enable the relevant options for your hardware. 2. You can usually find hardware information using 'lspci'. 3. Another strategy is to enable many options, (possibly using 'lsmod' as a guide), and then possibly remove options to see what is necessary. Mike McCarty wrote: I would agree with this except that the kernel is such a rapidly moving target, it would require a nearly complete rewrite with each new kernel release. Describing the kernel configuration would require increasing the size of the book by quite a bit, and it would be a very high maintenance part of the book. I don't know. Adding general pointers shouldn't add too much or require too much maintenance. I don't expect detailed descriptions of the options. Perhaps just a hints section about how to ascertain what hardware is present could be added, however. Perhaps also how to ascertain what modules got loaded by the 6.3 LiveCD could be put in, so one might have an idea what to build in. Something like that would definitely be enough.

Xorg - xtrans
During the Xorg Libraries section, xtrans installs itself to: $XORG_PREFIX/share/pkgconfig/xtrans.pc instead of $XORG_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig/xtrans.pc. The next library, libX11-1.3.2, claims xtrans is not installed, but after copying the file, all the libraries install cleanly. Another file installed is $XORG_PREFIX/share/aclocal/xtrans.m4. I don't know if that should be in lib or not, though it did not stop the installation (yet).

Re: my kernel won't recognize ide drives
There is a problem I meet from time to time while trying to minimize the size of my kernel; using only the mainboard drivers fail without success. You also have to compile the generic ide drivers into the kernel.

I realize that new kernels name ide drives sdx and that's fine. I don't need them to be labeled hdx. I simply want them to be recognized by the kernel. Look in Device Drivers- Sereal ATA and Parallel ATA drivers, and you should see PATA and SATA drivers. Enable one that matches your hard disk controller, or just enable Generic ATA Support. What I usually do in those cases is matching the output of hwinfo against the help texts in the menuconfig. I had a special case here because I use a PCI PATA controller card with additional drives which needs a different driver than the onboard controllers, and these two drivers use different naming schemes, so I ended up having hda and sda/sdb, which spoiled grub's menu.lst entries a little. So just in case, when booting and unsure which drive has what number, use the tab expansion in the grub interactive shell.
