I don't know if this will help or not, but when I built 7.3 using Fedora 18 as a host, cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules did not show my Ethernet device, though it did show wlan0 I configured /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0 anyway - though I told it not to come at boot, I've not attached it to a network yet. I got same message as you did. Inside the fresh LFS 7.3 - I rebuild LFS 7.3 again. In the LFS built by LFS - 70-persistent-net.rules now showed the Ethernet device, but it called it emo1 and not eth0 So I set up the device calling it emo1 instead of eth0 and while I still have not made an Ethernet connection, booting the LFS built inside LFS does not give me any errors. Anyway, my suggestion is to modify /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0 change IFACE=eth0 to IFACE=emo1 and rename the file to /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.emo1 Interestingly, Fedora 18 calls the device em1 So it may be a 3.8.x kernel thing changing the device name that the LFS book didn't reflect. But I haven't made a connection yet so I really don't know. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
