Hi - I was trying to follow the instructions for "Linux from Scratch". I had already tried following the instructions for Fedora Core 4, which didn't work, so I guessed that I was meant to do the others first.
I was using a copy of the webpage from a couple of months ago, which included the instruction "rm -rf /etc/init.d" as part of the Hotplug install. After executing it my Linux system wouldn't boot at all. After about 4 hours' work I spotted that that was the last command I'd issued. I guessed that /etc/init.d was just a symbolic link to /etc/rc.d/init.d and recreated this link in rescue mode. The system then booted once, but now won't work again. As it won't boot, I don't know how to get to the system logs to find out what's happening. As far as I can tell, it gets right to the end of /etc/inittab, where it launches the X11 server, then fails. This fits with what I see: the monitor keeps resetting, and it doesn't manage to show my graphical log-on. Please - any ideas? Has anyone else hit similar problem? I'm intrigued that the latest version of the website no longer includes the Hotplug, rm init.d command - annoying that I might have lost my whole system for something that was unnecessary!
