Hi Ralph, I have the following ideas: 1.) I have seen that since kernel version 2.6.27.x or 2.6.28.x hda has been changed to sda 2.) I would write into a) /boot/grub/menu.lst ... title LFS 6.4 root (hd0,0) kernel lfskernel-2.6.27.4 root=/dev/sda3 b) /etc/fstab /dev/sda3 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda2 swap swap pri=1 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 Good luck Wolfgang -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
