If you know what you're doing, then you could probably get away with writing your own bootscripts. The patches, however, can NOT be skipped. They correct serious errors that would break the system otherwise.

It appears that GRUB is doing it's job, but the kernel does not have the
appropriate HW drivers for VMware's emulation. If you have another
VMware system that works, boot to that and run both lspci and lsmod to
see what that system is being loaded. Then rebuild your kernel ensuring
the proper drivers are built into the kernel.

There is nothing to prevent you from changing any or all of them but I wouldn't recommend that at the beginning. Get it working and then make any changes you want.

[lfs-support] problem with section 6.9 of LFS 7.1
Installing glibc-2.14.1 I am a student and am doing Linux From Scratch as a class project. I am working on section 6.9, installing glibc-2.14.1. I have made sure I am entering all the commands correctly. When I perform make install it runs for quite awhile but gives an error at the end. Here is a copy of the text: test ! -x /sources/glibc-build/elf/ldconfig || LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C \ /sources/glibc-build/elf/ldconfig \ /lib64 /usr/lib64 CC=gcc /usr/bin/perl scripts/test-installation.pl /sources/glibc-build/ gcc: error: /tmp/test-prg5634: No such file or directory Execution of gcc failed! The script has found some problems with your installation! Please read the FAQ and the README file and check the following: - Did you change the gcc specs file (necessary after upgrading from Linux libc5)? - Are there any symbolic links of the form libXXX.so to old libraries? Links like libm.so - libm.so.5 (where libm.so.5 is an old library) are wrong, libm.so should point to the newly installed glibc file - and there should be only one such link (check e.g. /lib and /usr/lib) You should restart this script from your build directory after you've fixed all problems! Btw. the script doesn't work if you're installing GNU libc not as your primary library! make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/glibc-2.14.1' make: *** [install] Error 2 I have double-checked and entered the sed commands concerning the test-installation.pl script. I have checked the gcc specs file and all the /tools prefixes are there and correct. I have searched and searched the LFS site and found no help. Any ideas?

Re: [lfs-support] problem with section 6.9 of LFS 7.1
Yes, I did copy and paste, the second time I ran those commands. I just moved on to the next section, for lack of any other ideas, hoping that the errors I got didn't really mean any harm. All the tests that were run on the tool chain readjustment section ran just fine. Do you think I am good, or should I roll back and run the glibc install disabling the test-installation.pl as you said? Did the errors I got kill the glibc installation, or do you think they were inconsequential?
