Hey Alex:

It turns out to also be the cause of the 2nd problem. Our code is
based on LFS 6.1 and I tried including a static copy or our grub-0.95
version with our install files. It now installs fine. Not sure if
it's worth while to include the other grub files. Perhaps even cleaner
would be getting the src of the new grub that comes in LFS 6.2, compiling
that -O0 like you did and using that.
I hit an unexpected problem while I linked our old 6.1 grub static.
When I ran 'configure' with arg LDFLAGS=-static and it build fine.
Unfortunately in my complete build it broke because stage1 and
stage2 weren't installed in:
/usr/share/grub/i386-pc/
Probably by the time you back online I'll have figured out why this
happen. If anyone happens to know why such an odd thing should occure
you might as well post a followup in case I haven't figured it out yet.
Fortunately I'm not hitting Sami Tarazi problem with udev. Perhaps that's
only a problem with the 6.2-4 ISO; my success with with the 6.2-3 iso.
Anyway, thanks for the tip; your too Sami.
