[lfs-support] Systemd 237 Build Instructions

Hi all, I just wanted to clarify something regarding the instructions for building Systemd in LFS 8.2-rc1. Some of the commands include “LANG=en_US.UTF-8” in them. Should this be adjusted for your local language (i.e. “en_IE.UTF-8” in my case as I’m based in Ireland) or should they be left

[lfs-support] Page Table Isolation on AMD Processors

Hi all, I’ve been away for a while, but am back now starting a new SVN build of LFS. Since I’ve been away, however, the Spectre/Meltdown issue has been discussed at length. I’ve been reading through the archives with interest, but unfortunately little understanding. I am currently going through

[lfs-support] Systemd-232 ‘test-path-util’ Test Failing

Hi all, Before running the test suite for Systemd-232 in LFS 8.0, the book states it needs some modification to prevent searching for a programme that will be installed with Util-Linux later on in the build. This is done with a sed command: — sed -i 's:minix:ext4:g' src/test/test-path-util.c

[lfs-support] Attr Test Failure

I am currently working my way through LFS 8.0 (systemd) and have reached the Attr stage in Chapter 6. I am getting a test failure and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to what might cause it and whether it is a serious failure: —— [95] $ ls -s f -- failed 0 f

Re: [lfs-support] Building LFS with an existing toolkit

Hi Hazel, I just wanted to confirm that this is exactly what I do with my toolchain on occasion. I am in the process of writing an automation script for the full LFS-8.0 build (tailored to my machine/circumstances), and frequently use the backed-up toolchain to test the progress of the automated

[lfs-support] New Compile Options for GLibC 2.25 in §6.9

Hi all, Just wanted to say a quick thanks for all the hard work in making the LFS-8.0 book. In Chapter 6.9 of LFS-8.0-systemd, GLibC-2.25 is configure with two new options that were not present in LFS-7.10 (‘--enable-stack-protector=strong’ and ‘libc_cv_slibdir=/lib’), and the information about

Re: [lfs-support] Fwd: Kernel Panic Booting From USB Hard Drive

Hi again all, I have a slight confession to make – it seems the issue was more related to a PEBKAC/PICNIC error than anything else *blush*. When I changed the kernel configuration to include the USB 3.0 subsystem yesterday and recompiled the kernel, I somehow forgot to copy it to the /boot

[lfs-support] Kernel Panic Booting From USB Hard Drive

Hi All, it’s been a while since I posted here! I have just finished running through a build of LFS 7.10-systemd and have rebooted my computer. I am currently getting a kernel panic when the kernel is booting. According to the messages on the screen (which I can try and transcribe if anyone needs
