Ken's comments on this thread about my udev setup being badly messed up (and
perhaps my system being totally hosed) prompted me to do something a little
unusual:
I copied all of the udev binaries over from my working slackware partition to
the non-functional LFS partition. I then copied over th

For fun, I modified the udev script to recreate /dev/console and /dev/null.
After doing that, the entire boot process appears to proceed successfully to

Ken,
One additional thing I noticed: if I do a ls -l /dev at the end of the LFS udev
script, neither console nor null appear; they're not listed as devices.
I don't know if this is because they're not in the ramfs that's mounted on top
of /dev when udev runs, or if it's related to the problem I
Ken,
Here's what I get when I look at LFS' /dev/console and /dev/null from within
slackware:
crw--1rootroot5,12005-01-0521:12 console
crw-rw-rw 1root root1,32005-01-0521:12 null
Here's what I get from within the LFS udev script upon boot, ju

Some additional info:
I checked the logs after the last failed/hanging boot, and the system log shows
most, if not all, of the shell scripts executing (I can tell by the messages
they log).
But I never get a login prompt on the screen, and it looks like the system
hangs.
I did notice one oddi

How do you know, when the system hangs?. Kernel boot messages?
How about checking cables, bios.

Dan,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I've done some more spelunking:
1) The inittab file seems to be in good order. The parameters match (with
differences in terminology) the working inittab file on the Slackware distro
which I keep on a separate partition for emergencies.
2) I put some echo stat

I have an oddball problem that is causing me to rip out hair :)
My LFS 6 system, which has performed like a champ for years, suddenly stopped
booting the other day. Initially the problem was that it couldn't "see"
