Description
When you create the /boot/grub/menu.lst and you have a /boot partition mounted in /mnt/lfs/boot, you should not add "/boot" before "/lfskernel" for grub to boot the kernel.
The line: kernel --no-mem-option /boot/lfskernel root=/dev/hda4
should be: kernel --no-mem-option /lfskernel root=/dev/hda4
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The book doesn't mandate any particular partition layout, although by looking at chapter06/creatingdirs.html would suggest that we assume a single partition is being used. As grub works from the root of whatever partition is designated as the boot partition then the instructions are correct for this assumption. Those deviating from the book should be able to adapt the instructions for their own particular configuration.
Cheers,
Matt.
