Nope, still not there.  

Why would it be there now?  
I did a cvs update and didn't get anything new.

I didn't get to the "install" part yet....and there's a problem in the
script.
Update from CVS, it's fixed there.

I'm currently working on 2 system where I wiped out the lfssystem yeste=

Nah, not this time anyway.  This problem exists in email-hell.
I sent an message about this early this morning which didn't come
through until just recently (out of order.  So it only _appears_ 
like I said your latest fix didn't work.  :-)

Your latest update to e2fsprogs works fine, thank you.

HOWEVER, I still can't boot the ISO.

I'm still getting:
Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

Any clue?

This option should be based anyway. (in $CDDIR/isolinux.cfg ).
My system boots fine. I checked in some more changes which should help.=

Sure, I'm getting good at starting over!  :-)

I get farther on boot now.  It finds an empty floppy, and asks to copy
the config to it, and then it can't find /cdrom and auto reboots.

Then I manually copied etc_tar.bz2 & var_tar.bz2 to floppy, and
rebooted.  It got farther, but couldn't find files:

/etc/init.d/functions  /etc/sysconfig/config  /etc/sysconfig/software

Then it couldn't find inittab, it ask me to enter a runlevel, 
I entered "3", and it died with no processes left in the runlevel.

At least the kernel isn't crashing any longer.  ;-)

I'd take a look and try to fix some of it now, but I've got to head off
to my weekly LUG meeting ...  maybe tomorrow.

As I said, I have a working fresh build here.
Could be that you checked out a bit too early, or just because it's
raining, or somebody in China fall off his bike, or.....

Did you try it with a blank floppy?

Mine worked the first time for me too (well, almost:) 
when I had an old etc.tar.bz2 file left over on my floppy.

I'll run a mrproper tonight and see if that helps.

The problem can't be the floppy, since it is accessed a while after the 
first init.
It is even more important that you use the new version, since the boot 
scripts changed a bit.

OK, keep me posted. It would be good, if you wipe out the LFS system, too.

OK, I started a mrproper earlier (limited selection on software), and
tried it when I got home from the LUG meeting.

Everything is current on this PC because I ran another cvs update just
now, and there were no new updates to be found.

I tried the same thing, deleted the files from my floppy and booted the
ISO in VMware.  It tried to copy the files to floppy, but failed and
rebooted.  So, let me ask you again, did you try booting yours with a
_BLANK_ floppy?  Or did you _manually_ copy new files to a floppy?

So, I then manually copied the files to my floppy and booted VMware
again.  This time it booted up without warning to a login prompt! :-)

The only problem I see right now is the code that copies the default
configs to a blank media.  (but I haven't looked very hard either ;)

To be honest, I always copy the stuff on the config media before I try =
it.
I currently use a USB flash card.

There where some modifications to the linuxrc script, I could accidentl=

There's still more to do, we need to bring down the initial memory
consumption by another 4 MB.

Don't work on that problem for now, I probably replace the shell by
something more limited, but much smaller.

Ah ha!  Just as I suspected!  :-)
For testing, I just delete the files and let the initial boot 
recreate them.  (being lazy as I am :)

I use a real floppy diskette in VMware for testing.

Yes, I was very happy to once again see a login prompt!  :->

I booted my other copy this morning (all software selected), and it
works too, although has a few warnings:

 ldconfig complains about not being able to link something in libstdc++

 modprobe can't locate /dev/lvm  (starting LVM)

 modprobe can't locate /dev/nb

 wlan startup script gives a warning about invalid parameters.

 hotplug can't synthesize pci hotplug events

Minor stuff!  (at least stuff that I don't use and don't care about ;)

It's all yours.

I just added the single line help text to all services in the setup
script, and removed the menu selection that loaded packages.

I'm leaving on vacation this weekend, be gone for a week.  We'll be back
the second week of August.  I probably won't have email - no phones in
our hotel room, and cell phone coverage is very limited.

No problem.  Let me know when you're done with the script so we don't

Yeah, I love to get away from work, but I still like to keep up with my

I treated myself with 4 days Grand Bahamas. It's a dive vacation with m=

I also planned to have a few days before and after, I hope I can do it.=

No doubt!  :-)

The told us they are about 100 years behind in technology in Copper
Harbor, with a shortage of phone lines (why they don't have them in the
hotel rooms).  And said (seriously) that if we were to move to Copper
Harbor and wanted a phone in our house, we would have to get on a list
and wait for someone to die!

My boss is really paranoid about me being gone, so I'm currently
equipped with two different kinds of cell phones (w/laptop connections),
which may (or may not) have spotty coverage there, and an acoustic
coupler for connecting to pay phones!

Did you know they still make acoustic couplers?  I didn't!  
And yes, they are still as slow as they used to be ...

That sounds like fun!  I need to take dive classes sometime ...

We'd talked about rafting the entire Colorado River through the Grand
Canyon (277 miles - 7 days) this fall, but it looks like that'll have to
wait another year (at least).  Then I'll REALLY be out of touch!  Maybe
I can get my boss to spring for a satellite phone for that trip.  ;-)
