Looks like nobody has noticed that text until now, probably because nobody reported a problem. All the S scripts in rcS.d should run, followed by the S scripts in rc3.d. Your system is stopping right at the beginning. The rootfs is not remounted r/w until S40mountfs, at least from my reading of the bootscripts (wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong).
Does /run exist, both as a directory and in /etc/mtab ? I'm asking that because scripts sometimes misreport the error if it is unexpected. If you answered yes to both of those questions, have you changed something from what is in the book ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
