Hello all,
I have been transferring an LFS system on a USB drive around various
computers and it works for all except a new laptop running Windows 8. In
that case, the BIOS (or is it UEFI?) does not read (or reads and discards)
the grub loader on the USB. There is no way to select the USB

Now it would be nice for it to work using UUIDs so the booting can
be independent of host system.
You need to use an initrd of that. See BLFS.

Would't using GPT instead of MBR be a viable alternative?

I've got a few files at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ken/
in the keyboard-items and fonts directories - note that
LatGrkCyr-8x16 is a 512-ish character font and ships in kbd. It
comes from the sigma fonts there which are very much roll your
own but do allow a 256 character font if that

Hi, Simon:
The reason why I'm doing that (use binutils-2.23.1 instead of
binutils-2.22) is I don't want to 100% strictly follow LFS book, so that I
might be able to understand how to build my own Linux deeper.
And, even now, I've got no idea why we need to patch binutils ??
Because without

Hi, Thank you Chris.
Thanks for your reply. I now understand a bit more about why we need
Binutils Pass 1 and Pass 2.
However, I still prefer using Binutils 2.23.1, does that mean I'll have to
create my own patch for Binutils-2.23.1??
Are you planning to afford the patches to all newest needed

We do not recommend running tests in Chapter 5. They often depend on
the host system and we don't know what the arbitrary user has as a host.

This option is currently only useful on GNU/Linux systems. The
version parameter should have the form X.Y.Z and describes the

If you had read the book like you're expected to, you would already know
the answer to this. If you can't be bothered to read it, quit
