The drive partitions are /dev/sda2, 3, 4 ... and are present as well. proc /proc proc nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /run tmpfs defaults 0 0 devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs mode=0755,nosuid 0 0 > > and `mount` should show: > > tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw) I'll check if it ever boots to a shell. Currently it complains that the filesystem is mounted read-only and fails at the beginning of mountvirtfs. The grub boot line has the root device mounted as ro, I thought that it was remounted at some stage to rw during the boot process. I could change this to rw but I'd like to better understand the problem first. > > rcsysinit.d was changed to rcS.d some time ago. IIRC it was for LFS > 7.0.

CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y # CONFIG_TMPFS is not set I'll rebuild the kernel with that set. Must have missed it.
