Sorry if I am not posting correctly this is my first time posting here and it's a bit hard for me to give direct output I'm receiving as I am just running the basic system at this time. Not running my new system at this time I wrote this as I have yet to get to the point of having X windows or anything for mail etc... want to get these booting errors fixed before I proceed on to the next steps. What my issue is is when booting I see that Init is running then like a line mabe 2 down I start getting errors. I believe my first issue with the other errors are all mabe tied into the fact I'm getting a : "mount: wrong fstype,bad option, bad superblock on tmpfs, missing codepage or helper program, or other error" then directly below this I start getting: "mkdir: cannot create directory '/run/var': Read-only file system" this is followed with the same error but for lock and shm. after this I get an error every line or most of them atleast about /run/var/bootlog file or directory not found err</pre> The Wizard 2013-06-15T15:46:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.support/36971 <pre>Hi, Here is the detailed information: 1.

I've been trying to find an answer, but with little result. So I'm just here asking. I mean, it must be after careful thought that the developers make such a decision. That's certainly because of linkage problem, some one said, but what problem? Where in which package (every package with libc dynamically linked I guess) does the problem occur? So I just need some more detailed explanation. I wonder if such explanation could go into the LFS Book, because I think that's the core of LFS - understanding toolchain and dependencies. Well, if that's really a silly question, yell at me:). If I have to find it out myself, can someone tell me where to find it?

In chapter 6, if I am right, the chroot command changed in older versions after having installed bash in case one logged out. In the beginning of the chapter one issue chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin /tools/bin/bash --login +h and later chroot "$LFS" /usr/bin/env -i HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin /bin/bash --login +h I see nothing in svn-10289 about it. Did I missed something or the first command can be used all along the chapter ? My english is not so good, so I hope I'm clear :-) Thanks for answers. </pre> Philippe Delavalade 2013-06-07T17:08:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.support/36928 <pre>Hi :-) I prefer a second message for another problem. On my debian host system, in files .bashrc, i use the following lines to be informed from errors in a command : if [ "$PS1" ]; then _prompt_command() { local status="$?"; if [ $status != 0 ]; then echo -n "$status " 1&gt;&amp;2; fi } PROMPT_COMMAND=_prompt_command fi So, the exit code is printed before the prompt in case of an error. I'd like to do so in chapter 6 of LFS but, as there is no .bashrc, I wonder where I could append this lines. Thanks for advice. </pre> Philippe Delavalade 2013-06-06T12:50:28 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.support/36927 <pre>Hi all. In chapter 6 when building gcc, to have a view from the test suite, it is said to issue ../gcc-4.8.0/contrib/test_summary | grep -A7 Summ My problem is that it is too large for the screen and less or more are not installed. It's easy to go on another console and use the less of the host but is there a way to see the output within the chroot environment ? Should it be possible to install less (or more) in chapter 5 ? Thanks for answers. </pre> Philippe Delavalade 2013-06-06T12:45:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.support/36924 <pre>Heya all, wanted just to point to a small bug in the network boot scripts. (/sbin/ifup; /sbin/ifdown; /lib/lsb/ipv4-static; /lib/lsb/ipv4-static-route; /etc/init.d/network ) For simple network setups it isn't a problem but for complex route setups it is. The problem is in /sbin/ifup. The problematic part is: It will always set up a default gateway even if you don't want one for instance if you use "TYPE=ipv4-static-route" So if you have multiple network cards with several static routes it will setup the first one it reads as default gateway and the other it won't setup at all. I.E.: Two network cards. 1. network card eth0 (Address 10.0.0.0/16 and routes for 192.168.0.0/16 via 10.0.0.1 and 172.16.0.0/16 via 10.0.0.1) 2. network card eth1 (Address 5.5.5.5/24 and default gateway through 5.5.5.1) With this setup it will put default gateway through 10.0.0.1 and the rest it won't setup because it states that the default gateway is already setup.

I am trying to get an old LFS to work on my system.. And I am not doing very well.. I tried to do a later LFS namely LFS 6.8, but ran into many problems, and so I though I would start out with an older version and work both my understanding and my compatance up.. I printed the book for both LFS version 1.0 and LFS 2.0-pre1.. I figured version 2.0 would have the bugs worked out from version 1.0.. I did look at versions 1.1 and 1.2.. I have a 100G drive, which I have installed Red Hat Linux Enterprise WS (Red Hat Linux 9.1), which is residing on hda1 and hda2, my LFS is residing on hda6.. When I try to boot to the LFS partition it starts to load, but after a little while it stops and says it cannot find the init file.. I am using LILO for my boot loader, and in my lilo.conf script I have (for my lfs) image=/boot/bzImage label=lfs initrd=/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 read-only this is at /etc/lilo.conf..

It is possible to make the ext3 filesystem reliable across power failures for some hard disk types. To do this, add the barrier=1 mount option to the appropriate entry in /etc/fstab. To check if the disk drive supports this option, run hdparm on the applicable disk drive.

I have changed to ext4 and on boot I get errors that are saying than it had problems mounting the partition due to unsupported options, it has EXT3-fs in the first two error messages, the third message says it uses EXT4-fs and it then mounts without error. I belive it is coming from the kernel as it has a kernal time of [ 1.568232]. Is this normal for the boot to try mount the root partition with EXT3-fs twice before then using EXT4-fs? </pre> Baho Utot 2013-05-19T21:22:45 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.linux.lfs.support
