Hello
I was following the LFS (Linux From Scratch) Project 6.7,and i was able to finish up with a booting kernel.i did most of the compilation on my old Toshiba laptop.my problem resides is that i got tired of working on this very old pc , So i did a disk dump of the partition on which LFS is built on in order to use it on my newer laptop and run it using qemu .On my older system i used grub of the host system in order to load the kernel.My question is : can i install grub on the new disk image ? i tried loading it as a second hard drive with Ubuntu live-cd from qemu but it didn't work .Any suggestions ? i'm running Ubuntu 10.10 for x86_64 m kernel version :2.6.35-25-generic
Thank you
