STUCK at first boot: LFS v9.0 First Boot Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop
by bgii2000 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4S50M)
First time poster, first time builder! LQ.org has been a great help along way. I've put distros on my machines before, wanted to try to build from scratch on a spare machine I had laying around.
Specs on the machine:
Code:Pentium T4400 @2.20Ghz 1067Ah "Penryn"
2 x 2G 800Mhz Dimms (4G DDR2 RAM)
82801M ICH9-M Southbridge Dell BIOS A13
GM45 Intel Integrated Video BIOS 1706, 32MB RAM
15.6" Display, 1366x768 Native display
IDT 92HD71 Audio
Broadcom BCM 4312 802.11b/g
500GB Disk, ICH9M E/M SATA AHCI controller
Alps Electric PS2 Mouse Glidepoint PNP0F13
Keyboard (Up Arrow and colon YUNO WORK?) [USB keyboard works fine]
ICH9 Family USB Controller
Target triplet: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Linker: lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
UEFI: NoI'm building LFS 9.0 for this machine, everything very basic, sticking with defaults where possible. I also went ahead and built the "useful" BLFS tools at the end of the book (like linx, openssh, wget, etc) and their dependencies, and recompiled the kernel with necessary support.
I installed grub to the MBR successfully, and when I rebooted the machine, I was greated with a grub menu, showing my LFS install on /dev/sda2/. Either highlighting it and pressing enter, or just waiting for the time out results in what appears to be the kernel loading. It goes by incredibly fast, I can't read any of it. Then the resolution changes to a larger one from whatever the boot default is. This is successful. No frequency out of range errors. It keeps on doing its thing for a couple more seconds then stops here (forgive any typos, I wrote this by hand, not sure how to get a log at this point):

I followed the steps really, really carefully.
Any ideas, or is it back around for another run?
EDIT: Here's a gem: https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/02/linux-boot-process
So, I shouldn't be googling "S45cleanfs permission denied" I should google, "init startup cleanfs permission denied". The game's afoot!
EDIT 2: Can I just put a chmod command on line 107 in the inittab file?
