You don't need an initrd, unless you've created some fairly exotic setup
- distros use them because they give a lot

GRUB is fine.

Thanks Andy and Ken.
I suspect that some combination of modules and perhaps a missing initrd.img
file is my issue.

OK -- perhaps that's the issue.
I made no effort to avoid modules.
I guess that means I have to figure out how to rebuild the kernel without
modules or figure out how to boot w/modules?
Thanks for you help Andy.

Andy,
The error is emitted from:
./init/do_mounts.c
I ran the following command and found this one match above:
find . -name *.c -exec grep "Cannot open root device" {} \; -print

Thanks Andy.
I'm a bit out of phase with the email server.
Yes -- the kernel does boot and prints a bunch of stuff (successful stuff)
to screen.
Then I get the following error followed by a "kernel panic"
VFS: Cannot open root device "sdb8" or unknown-block(0,0)
I don't think this is a 'grub'
Thanks for your reply Andy.
Yes -- the kernel is found and it seems to run along just fine until
the following error:
VFS: Cannot open root device "sdb8" or unknown-block(0,0)
There are a few more messages after that but I don't really have
access to them because I have know way to save them.

Hi,
I have an older and existing grub (0.98) installation on my host that
works.
I was hoping to use my existing grub installation and point to my new LFS
system.
I believe that the new kernel is found -- there seems to be trouble with
finding the LFS '/' partition.
Any ideas or suggestions?
