 How is this? Spelling is all correct in /boot. The host 'LFS6' boots fine.

This type of problem is generally solved by having /boot on a separate 
partition.  It also gives the advantage of being able to access boot.cfg 
from any booted system without a separate mount.

The "set root" instructions should be inside the brace:
menuentry "LFS6, Linux 3.12.1-lfs-7.2" {
set root=(hd0,7)
linux /boot/lfskernel-3.12.1 root=/dev/sda7 ro
}

and same for the second one, replacing 7 with 6. Note that the root set by
"set root" does not need to be the same as the "root=" kernel parameter.

For example, you could have all the kernel files on the first partition and
have something like:
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /lfskernel-3.12.1 root=/dev/sda7 ro

(notice that /boot is suppressed in the last line). Then you could mount
/dev/sda1 on /boot with /etc/fstab.

Instead of global set root statement, define it in each menu entry like 
this:

menuentry "LFS6, Linux 3.12.1-lfs-7.2" {
 set root=(hd0,7)
 linux /boot/lfskernel-3.12.1 root=/dev/sda7 ro
}

menuentry "LFS7, Linux 3.12.5-lfs-7.4" {
 set root=(hd0,6)
 linux /boot/lfskernel-3.12.5 root=/dev/sda6 ro
}

Yes thanks that boots the new system okay but leaves lfs6unbootable .  I.e no 
file found.  There must be some kind of syntax error here somewher.

You're missing set root=(hd0,6) for in the LFS7 menu entry.

[lfs-support] Kernel file not found

2013-12-21 Thread Cliff McDiarmid 
Hi

I've built LFS six times and never had this issue.  After rebooting I'm getting 
an error saying 'file /boot/lfskernel-3.12.5 not found'

My 'grub.cfg' file from the host system(also LFS)reads:

# Begin /boot/grub/grub.cfg
set default=0
set timeout=20

set root=(hd0,7)

menuentry "LFS6, Linux 3.12.1-lfs-7.2" {
     linux  /boot/lfskernel-3.12.1 root=/dev/sda7 ro
}



menuentry "LFS7, Linux 3.12.5-lfs-7.4" {
     linux  /boot/lfskernel-3.12.5 root=/dev/sda6 ro
}

How is this?  Spelling is all correct in /boot.  The host 'LFS6' boots fine.

thanks

Cliff
