On Feb 20, 2014, at 8:47 AM, loki wrote: So the question is can I compile some version of lfs which can be compiled on 6.3 and can compile 7.4 and can I do both or more compilations in chroot? You can build LFS 7.4 (probably go with 7.5-rc1) from 6.3 with some minor tweaks. If your running kernel is up to at least 2.6.32 then default glibc configure options will work. If it is less than 2.6.32, then you'll need to adjust the glibc configure commands otherwise you will get FATAL: Kernel too old once you start using the new glibc in tools. Other than upgrading tar if not already so it'll us xz, and add xz to your system. 6.3 still meets the host system requirements outside of the running kernel update, tar update, and addition of xz. Gawk 4.1 upgrade isn't necessary as 3.15 even still works when building tools. However, you may want to anyway. Without upgrading the kernel headers you won't be able to upgrade your host's e2fsprogs to 1.42 and upgrade udev. You'll also need to upgrade make. I updated the lfs livecd a while back to build 7.x versions. you can look at my notes to see what I upgraded. If I didn't upgrade something to the newest version and it is stuck at an old version, namely udev and e2fsprogs, it is cause of the old kernel headers installed. http://clfs.org/~kb0iic/livecdupd/ I haven't tested the updated livecd with 7.5, but if host system requirements didn't change since 7.4, it'll work.

Since udev was merged with systemd, Gentoo crated eudev which is explained here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/eudev/ LFS extracted udev from systemd and created Makefile targets for LFS and is like your normal ole udev stripped from systemd. If you used LFS 6.3, use LFS to upgrade your system. It'd be much easier to install a distro or use a current LFS system, though. But for meeting host system requirements you will need to do these things: Upgrade kernel headers, upgrade glibc (newer udev requires it), upgrade tar, install xz, and you also don' t need to update gawk to 4.1. You don't need to rebuild programs against the new glibc, because your new glibc will have the required versioned symbols those programs require, but you do need to do this: whichever kernel your current glibc was built with, you'll need to use --enable-kernel=kernel version you used when building your LFS 6.3 system. Default was 2.6.0. I think that may cover most things. I updated the LFS 6.3 livecd to build current CLFS and LFS versions and can view my notes here: http://cross-lfs.org/~kb0iic/livecdupd/ I didn't upgrade some things like e2fsprogs and udev becauase I didn't upgrade kernel headers.

And I am not doing very well.. I tried to do a later LFS namely LFS 6.8, but ran into many problems, and so I though I would start out with an older version and work both my understanding and my compatance up.. I printed the book for both LFS version 1.0 and LFS 2.0-pre1.. I figured version 2.0 would have the bugs worked out from version 1.0.. I did look at versions 1.1 and 1.2.. I have a 100G drive, which I have installed Red Hat Linux Enterprise WS (Red Hat Linux 9.1), which is residing on hda1 and hda2, my LFS is residing on hda6.. When I try to boot to the LFS partition it starts to load, but after a little while it stops and says it cannot find the init file.. I am using LILO for my boot loader, and in my lilo.conf script I have (for my lfs) image=/boot/bzImage label=lfsinitrd=/boot/vmlinuzroot=/dev/hda6read-only this is at /etc/lilo.conf.. On my /dev/hda6 section I have at /dev/ hda6/etc/lilo.conf (the folowing) image=/boot/bzImage label=lfs initrd=/boot/vmlinuzroot=/dev/hda6/init=/dev/hda6/etc/ inittab ( I have tried it with and without this line andit does the same thing)read-only On the /etc/init it has what came with the Red Hat system and I have not altered it at all.. On my hda6 I have for /dev/hda6/etc/inittab (what is in the book) which is the followingid:2:initdefault: ca:12345:crtlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now 1:2345:respawn:/ sbin/sulogin I am using Linux From Scratch Book version 2.0-pre1.. So, my question is How do I get the Linux system when it is booting from / dev/hda6 to recognize the files that are on the hda6 partition ?? And when it stops, what is it looking for ?? It says the it can't find init=... I hope I have provided enought information, and yet not too much.. THANK YOU Marty A while back I built LFS 2.4.4 and 3.3 and some others and archived the builds. They were i686 builds I used vmware linux 2.2 guests and old slackware hosts to build them. This is what the lilo.conf in 2.4.4 has: # LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda prompt timeout = 1200 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k vga = 791 # Normal VGA console # vga = normal # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # vga=790 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 # vga=773 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k # vga=788 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k # vga=787 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256 # vga=771 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k # vga=785 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k # vga=784 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256 # vga=769 # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/linux-2.2.26ext3 root = /dev/hda1 label = LFS-2.4.4 read-only # Linux bootable partition config ends I'd be glad to put the 2.4.4 build up for you somewhere and you can look at it if you like.

Vmlinux is uncompressed Vmlinuz is compressed Depending on the platform, you can use either. Some large kernels won't load in memory if I recall correctly when using the uncompressed kernel. For 2.4 you make the config, then make dep, then make bzImage and use that compressed kernel image. Look in the README in the kernel source.
