If you compare VMware VM's, make sure they use the same virtual 
hardware, in this case the same SCSI controller.

Your question is a bit ambiguous. The solution really depends on the
goal of the system. Take an embedded system for example. You would
likely want to use uClibC as suggested by Firerat, but busybox is
certainly a matter of taste. It may actually be more responsible to
build the few utilities you need linked statically and forgo the
typical
environment completely. At an absolute minimum, you need only a kernel
and a statically linked binary to run as init (granted, it wouldn't be
very functional), but a kernel with no modules, a statically
linked ash
or dash, and a supported file system (with static device nodes) do
equate to a functional (read-only) system. In fact, we used to use
this
method many many moons ago for LFS itself. The first test reboot
of LFS
had only sysvinit and bash statically linked, and that could have
easily
been reduced to just bash if desired (either 'ln -s /bin/bash
/sbin/init' or init=/bin/bash in LILO). Yes, I had to review 1.0
(which
I never completed) to remember exactly how it was done.
http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-museum/1.0/LFS-HOWTO-1.0-HTML/

 Sir,
 I've already prepared the lfs system and it is working perfectly.
I just want reduce the size of the whole system (so that it is easy to 
migrate) by deleting files and folders like /sources and /tools which 
is not useful anymore.


Suggest me some files that i can remove.It may include help files and 
documentation files.


Thank u
Kshitij Jain.



If you don't care about having documentation of the installed software 
around on your LFS-system, you can remove it:

/usr/share/doc/* and /usr/share/man/*

And wget will give you a file called "download" (with the 
tarball-contents)  unless you specify the outputfile. That's why _I_ 
rather use the URL without the "/download". It redirects OK and gives 
the right outputfile using wget ;)

That's true.  On one of my systems, I do have a separate /opt just for 
space reasons.  I had several versions of java, xorg, kde, and qt and 
space was getting tight on the root fs.  That can be easier than trying 
to grow a partition in place.

I make a separate partition for /var/log. I've had too many times log-files 
that grew so large that they crashed the OS by filling / to 100%. (I do use 
logrrotate and yet it still happens sometimes...)

Hello,

I'm having trouble booting into the new LFS partition (or harddisk in 
my case).


I've set up the GRUB as descriped in the book, the only changes i've 
put into the grub.cfg is that i had to change the hd0,2 to hd1,1 and i 
changed the root partition to sdb1 to match my setup up.


(ill just list my setup quick)
sda1 (linux host OS)
sdb1 (/ (this is where i installed all the folders such as ,dev , srv, 
usr, etc, and the list goes on)

sdb2 (my 100mb boot partition)
sdb3 (1GB swap)

Now i reboot after unmounting $LFS and i get the grub menu as expected 
and intended.
i press enter to start the boot, the comes up with a massive list of 
things i can only imagine are steps to boot into LFS and it freezes 
with a error or "Kernel panic":

msdos iso9660
[2.398121] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount 
root fs on unknown-block (8.17)


then i get a litte list of something i cant make head or tails out of 
and then finishes with atkbd serio0: Sprurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. 
some program might be trying to acces hardware directly.


Any thoughts?

DId you compile the drivers for the harddrivecontroller into the kernel 
(not as a module)?

/bin/sh -> /bin/dash: That is wrong. /bin/sh should be a link to 
/bin/bash. I'm not sure if that is the cause of your problem though.

I suggest you leave the chroot, su to the lfs-user, and redo chapter 
5.8, without the make and make install.

Ahhh, that's why uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd aren't loaded on my LFS 
SVN-20121122. I put an extra file in /etc/modprobe.d for vmxnet3, that 
does work though.

Have you tried to put the rule for eth0 first, and the rule for eth1 second?

Re: [lfs-support] Boot Issues

[Thomas de Roo]

Booting from USB is for most BIOSes only supported for FAT-filesystems. You 
probably need to do something with initramfs or initrd.

Subject: [lfs-support] Boot Issues

I've followed the book word for word and now I'm having some booting 
issues.  I've tried to boot off a USB Thumb Drive, an SD Card, and when 
its running through the boot proccess it keeps telling me that there is 
an unknown partition type, and therefore can't mount the root fs.

I've redone the parition table on both media a few times, verifiy its 
MS-DOS MBR type.  I've formarted the file system again and recopied 
everything on there.  I've built the kernel with no modules, all inline, 
and have just about everything you can think of marked.

Interesting note, used to be able to grub-install /dev/sda from in side 
the chroot, but now for some reason it won't let me do that, I get a 
warning stating that /boot/grub won't be aviable at boot time so its 
aborting.


Thank You,
Casey

[lfs-support] Getting a working kernel

[Thomas de Roo]

Hello,

Getting a working kernel the easy way, I use those steps:

make mrproper &&
#cp /boot/config-VERSION .config &&
#cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip > .config
make oldconfig &&
make localyesconfig &&
make &&
make modules_install &&
make firmware_install

(Step 2 or 3 depend on the host.)

This way, I'm sure to get all the required drivers compiled in, without
needing to go through all the options in a "make menuconfig". Maybe
something like this could be suggested in the book?

Of course it's entertaining and educational to use "make menuconfig", but
sometimes I just want the kernel to work ;)

Regards,
Thomas
