I was able to make it work in QEMU in the "new ext3 on LVM2 on /dev/hda1, no /boot partition" case. But the lack of up-to-date documentation in the tarball and incompleteness of the documentation at http://grub.enbug.org/FrontPage are, IMHO, major obstacles, and due to this, I would like LFS to be a bit more conservative (i.e., not dump two problems on the reader--LFS itself and new GRUB; successful education is always gradual education). Instructions for the impatient: lzo-2.02: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install grub-1.96: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make && make install # the need to add --modules="pc" is a bug, # grub-install is advertised to be able to autodetect the needed modules grub-install --modules="pc" /dev/hda cat >/boot/grub/grub.cfg <<"EOF" set default=0 set timeout=5 set root=(myvg-root) terminal console menuentry "LFS-6.3 on LVM" { linux /boot/linux root=/dev/myvg/root initrd /boot/initramfs_data.cpio.gz } EOF Configuration can be adjusted to show a JPEG image in the background and have a nice font, but I think that the above example is enough. -- Alexander E.
