Hello, as explained in http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2161 (a blocker), due to recent changes in e2fsprogs, Grub-0.97 no longer works (cannot read any files from the resulting filesystem, cannot be installed into MBR, and the book is thus horribly broken). There are a couple of tickets about alternative boot loaders:
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2093: just a proposal to add a new section about boot loaders; http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1955: duplicate, but with more discussion. Did anyone investigate the boot loader options further? What should be done for LFS-7.0? And before anyone objects to LILO on the basis that you must not forget to run it: write the /sbin/installkernel script and run "make install" in the kernel tree (it calls /sbin/installkernel, that should rename and install bzImage and update the boot loader), and the problem of forgetting to run lilo will go away. -- Alexander E.
