Hello,

I was able to build CLFS-SVN-20100103-x86_64-Pure64 using 2.6.32.2
instead of 2.6.30.5.
I also built Xorg-7.5 following BLFS directions but it freezes when
trying "X -retro -config" with the freshly brewed xorg.conf.new.
That's another issue...

While working Xorg I found out my old VIA MB was no longer OK so I
bought a new MB, this time an AMD 740G + SB700 with integrated Radeon
2100.

When I tried to boot my working system it stops with kernel panic
because it cannot find root partition /dev/hda1. To my surprise when I
tried to boot the same LFS 64bit liveCD I used to build my system it
stops because cannot mount /dev/lfs-cd and drop me back to a shell
where I can't do much from.



EDIT: I found the right combination of settings in kernel, involving
ide-generic and now my hdd is seen as hdc1.

Thanks,

Alonso
