Southtown Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 well, you can always just start over again :)I did. After rebuilding the temporary tools, I came to the filesystem building part, and it hit me... I was trying to chroot into partition with only /sources and /tools. lol :cup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeztar Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 As poor as Win Vista is, it's best to pull from there. Then you can 'chmoot' all you want. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southtown Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Sorry, yeah I'm booting into a lfs-livecd iso on my hard drive. No package managers to work with. lol Plus I'm chrooted into it already at this point. The kernel and boot loader are pretty much all that's left. The packages that I'm working with and some how could have messed up areBinutils-2.18 GCC-4.3.2 Linux-2.6.27.4 API Headers Glibc-2.8-20080929 Tcl-8.5.5 Expect-5.43.0 DejaGNU-1.4.4 Ncurses-5.6 Bash-3.2 Bzip2-1.0.5 Coreutils-6.12 Diffutils-2.8.1 E2fsprogs-1.41.3 Findutils-4.4.0 Gawk-3.1.6 Gettext-0.17 Grep-2.5.3 Gzip-1.3.12 M4-1.4.12 Make-3.81 Patch-2.5.4 Perl-5.10.0 Sed-4.1.5 Tar-1.20 Texinfo-4.13a Util-linux-ng-2.14.1 Man-pages-3.11 GMP-4.2.4 MPFR-2.3.2 Berkeley DB-4.7.25 E2fsprogs-1.41.3 Iana-Etc-2.30 Bison-2.3 Procps-3.2.7 Libtool-2.2.6a Zlib-1.2.3 Python-2.6.2 Readline-5.2 Autoconf-2.63 Automake-1.10.1 File-4.26 Flex-2.5.35 GRUB-0.97 Groff-1.18.1.4 Inetutils-1.5 IPRoute2-2.6.26 Kbd-1.14.1 Less-418 Man-DB-2.5.2 Module-Init-Tools-3.4.1 Psmisc-22.6 Shadow-4.1.2.1 Sysklogd-1.5 Sysvinit-2.86 Udev-130 Vim-7.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 yea you might need a few more packages :) I'd search lfs forums for the list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexander Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 been there done that, i once had to rebuild a gentoo install 4 times because i kept on messing up messing up the architecture in gcc config... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Yeah, I don't know how I ever got Gentoo installed. Following the Jackass walkthrough with a Gentoo tarball shouldn't have worked. But for reasons I can't remember both Gentoo/Gentoo and Jackass/Jackass failed. I still want to go back to Gentoo eventually but at the moment I want to try out all the other 'main' distros so I can have a better frame of reference. About LFS, after I posted the make menuconfig trouble, I bzipped everything and started afresh with the dev release candidate, 6.5rc2, and I am now compiling the kernel. And of course, since I am a minimalist (as in minimal deviation from default) it didn't take me long to configure. I'm still browsing for kernel optimization howtos, though because I plan to recompile it again later on when I learn more. I think the kernel config trouble that I had was probably related to the LANG= and RC_ALL= parameters. The site says, "This is needed for a proper menuconfig ncurses interface line drawing on UTF-8 linux text console." Well, I'm using ISO 8859-1 because I had problems with UTF-8 during one of my earliest attempts, so I left them both out this time, and voilà. Hope my kernel boots. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeztar Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 What about slackware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 What about slackware?Funny you should ask that. I figured LFS would teach me how to deal with slack. I installed it but I have trouble with just choosing packages out of a list, as opposed to installing stuff later as I need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southtown Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Now that you mention it, I do feel pretty stupid saying that. But on the other hand, I'm not (or wasn't) familiar enough with Linux packages to know what I need. Next you're going to tell me that Slack checks for dependencies. :) On the LFS front, it does not boot. I suspect my kernel somehow, obviously. But I did include ext* support (no compression yet) and I did include the proper stage1_5 file in grub.root (hd1,0) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7 kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.30.4 root=/dev/sdb1 usbdelay=10 Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Seems you are trying to load a windows partition there... uh ok, firstly your primary drive is hd0, secondary is hd1 so dont confuse secondly the reason it gives you that is perhaps because when you installed windows, it was in the primary drive (hd0) but now you added another primary drive, so when the windows boot loader looks at partition hd0, 1 or something it probably hits your swap. one possible solution, in menu.lst file for grub:title=<insert windows name here e.g. Windows XP>root (hd1,0) <The partition that your windows install is on>map (hd1) (hd0) <this remaps the drives so that the windows bootloader does not get confused>map (hd0) (hd1) <same as above>makeactivechainloader +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 No, it's ext3 on my usb stick, sdb1. I got stage1, stage2, and e2fs_stage1_5 in grub.title LFS 6.5-rc2 root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.30.4 root=/dev/sdb1 usbdelay=10So it's probably the kernel. I'll just comb back through the config when I have more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
