That is offset by the requirement for an initrd. UUIDs are not handled natively by the kernel. We do have instructions about how to create an initrd in BLFS. You can even create a 'generic' initrd that can be used with multiple kernels (build everything you need to boot into the kernel and don't include any kernel modules). > In parallel to my LFS, I have an Ubuntu installed.

Yes, Ubuntu thinks it owns your boot.cfg and will overwrite it. In my experience, it gives you no choice. I recommend backing up boot.cfg and copying back after a Ubuntu change and making any changes that Ubuntu wants (usually only a couple of lines) manually. > Maybe you can use this as well to get rid of any device mapping hassle. Yes. Exchange the mapping hassle for an initrd hassle. Use the capabilities you need, but consider all the factors. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
