Few mismatches around kernel name in chapter 8 of LFS-BOOK-6.6.pdf

Mismatch N1 in sections "8.3.3. Contents of Linux"

Original line (mismatch form): "Installed files: config-2.6.32.8, lfskernel-2.6.32.8, and System.map-2.6.32.8"

should be changed to the correct form: "Installed files: config-2.6.32.8, vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6, and System.map-2.6.32.8"

because:

• section "8.3.1. Installation of the kernel" say:

The filename below can be changed to suit your taste, but the stem of the filename should be vmlinux to be compatible with the automatic setup of the boot process described in the next section. The following command assumes an x86 architecture: cp -v arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6

• original line (mismatch form in 8.3.3.) followed by "Short Descriptions", where is vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6 (but

not a lfskernel-2.6.32.8) descripted.

Mismatch N2

In section "8.4.2. Setting Up the Configuration" for contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg wrongly printed menuentries "GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30.2-lfs65"* from previous version of LFS, mismatching to /boot/vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6 in the same print and to the actions of above sections of LFS6.6. (Possible reason of mistake somwhere near error inside xml-version error (see ​http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/browser/trunk/BOOK/chapter08/grub.xml), where hardcoded "Linux 2.6.30.2-lfs65", instead it should be something like ""Linux &linux-&version" as it already done there for "linux /boot/vmlinux-&linux-version;-lfs-&version; root=/dev/sda2 ro single")

P.S. Btw, may be vmlinuz-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6 instead of vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6 will be more closer to some linux naming traditions, if "cp -v arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinux-2.6.32.8-lfs-6.6" command involved?

i.e. if "bzImage" means "big ZIPed (compressed) Image", then 'z' in vmliuz will illustrate it, especialy according to the some purposes of LFS ("learning experience" and "power that information and knowledge truly bring" (see the Audience section of book ;))

Patch 2.5.9 was released on 2003-05-20. The current LFS book is still using 2.5.4, released on 1999-08-30. Given that the current version is 5 years old, and the version in the book is 10 years old, I think it might be overdue for an upgrade.

I open this here because i can't have access to open in ALFS.

I tried to install CLFS with jhalfs from svn tree and i get this errors:

1 - failure on check MD5 checksums of files (all executions):

inetutils-1.5.tar.gz does not match MD5SUMS value NEW MD5SUM: aeacd11d19bf25c89d4eff38346bdfb9 inetutils-1.5.tar.gz gcc-4.2.2-posix-1.patch does not match MD5SUMS value NEW MD5SUM: 8df4fe6a9f77135ae1b0851786c40410 gcc-4.2.2-posix-1.patch lynx2.8.6.tar.bz2 does not match MD5SUMS value NEW MD5SUM: bd44c57d28fd3e4c9db1cd492d403600 lynx2.8.6.tar.bz2

about this problem i open a ticket in CLFS and i received the reply that there is no checksum for package lynx 2 - Kernel don't unpack to install kernel headers I was driven in CLFS-trac to open a ticket here I alter the common/libs/func_wrt_Makefile, line 83 to:

if "${PROGNAME}" = "lfs"

"${PROGNAME}" = "clfs"

"${PROGNAME}" = "hlfs" ; then

and it works 3 - last execution stops in e2fsprogs, apparently the variables of the environment have not been adjusted to install in chroot mode

* Please forward to ALFS bug trac (jhalfs)
