In order to try that method, After you do the "make oldconfig", you need to do "make menuconfig" and select to build into the kernel "Y" the few things that are totally necessary at boot time. This would include at the very least ext2 ext3 hard drive (I saw CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y in your pastebin) The rule is that if the kernel must have it at boot time in order to access the hard drive and filesystem (before the filesystem has been accessed), then it must be built into the kernel or made available via initrd. Centos uses initrd, so it can have those essential things as modules, but if not using initrd, if those essential things are modules, it will panic. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
