Use the bzimage ;) Conventionally, on x86, it is called vmlinuz. It is compressed. Some other arches [ I think that ancient version of the book covers ppc ] use the uncompressed vmlinux. > Anyway on to the next complaint it states -- > Warning: unable to open an initial console. > host/uhci.c: ec00: hostcontroller halted.. very bad > So, what item or items should I check in the menuconfig file to correct this > or see if it is properly checked ?? Looks like two errors. 1. From memory, you are probably missing /dev/console. When I first encountered LFS, around LFS-3, I think there was a Makedev script. 2. Looks like a problem in uhci [ one of the usb variants ]. On your host distro, use lsmod to see which modules are loaded, then ensure those are all enabled. Probably best to build them all into the kernel (not as modules). NB - so much has changed since the old kernel you are using. What applies to modern kernel config settings is probably very different so most people won't be able to offer detailed advice. And please don't top post.
