<br>
Do yourself a favor, and unless dealing with windoze, just make
your bootable the first partiton. Give it 250mb, make it /boot,
done. Get jiggy with it any other way from there. That'll
support raid, crypto, lvm, btrfs, zfs, or whatever else you want
to do as long as there's always a clean /boot first and modules
are hooked in your initrd.<br>

<div>I was so excited! I installed the debian syatem but
when I tried to mount the LFS partition it said <br>
<br>
"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/sda9,<br>
missing codepage or helper program, or other
error<br>
In some cases useful info is found in syslog -
try<br>
dmesg | tail or so"<br>
<br>
then as I was trying to investigate the LFS partitions
cfdisk wouldn't even start and fdisk kept saying <br>
<br>
"Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4
will be corrected by w(rite)"<br>
<br>
Writing didn't correct the problem so instead of
bugging you I figured that this might have something
to do with the fact that I set the LFS partitions up
when I installed debian. So I reinstalled debian w/o
setting up the LFS partitions and now now cfdisk
starts and I set the partitions up. But it won't let
me create the file system. this is what happens:<br>
<br>
root@debian:~# mkfs -v -t ext4 /dev/sda6<br>
mke2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)<br>
Could not stat /dev/sda6 --- No such file or directory<br>
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify
it correctly?<br>

as you can see the device does exist. sda1 is swap for
the debian system which is in sda5. sda6 is going to be
the LFS system and sda7 is going to be the swap for LFS
when I get done.<br>

Please, what did I do wrong or else what is the problem?<br>

there must be a reason that the glibc line was
commented out in the LFS book so I'm not going
to worry about it. regarding your line I did
enter it and it returned nothing. then I
re-read the the text concerning that and it
finally dawned on me..... I want all of them or
none of them and if I only had 1 or two of them
it is okay to delete the ones that are there. I
get there.... even if it does take me a little
longer. I wish this wasn't the case but at least
I can blame the head injury for the
difficulties. I'll start working on it when I
get home from work tonight.</div>

Michael, have you even looked at what is
in line 32 of your version-check.sh?<br>
Among other things, because 'glibc' is
more than a program (it is more like the
whole engine running under the hood),
and your system would not even boot up
is you don't have 'glibc' (which is a
whole lot system)<br>
You'll learn that as you read LFS. <br>
Did you ever try:<br>
find /lib/ /*/lib/ -name lib${X}.la<br>

well, I didn't have a problem
getting these files with a standard<br>
installation of debian; it was only
after I tried with a net install of<br>
debia. So right now I'm downloading
a current dvd iso of debian and
after<br>
the install I'll see if that helps.

well I installed gmp the way it
