Hi i just placed the new "Core Dump" TEST ISO to the mirrors: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/rc-iso/2007.11/
1 week testing should be enough, I tested them in kvm-qemu and didn't find an issue.
All sorts of problems in QEMU on windows. If I boot normal (not legacy) with only a CDROM drive, i get a bunch of errors like this (have to type them by hand): ata2.00: exception Emax 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata2.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:... tag 0 cdb 0x12 date 36 in res 40/0000:... Emaxk 0x4 (timeout) ata2: soft resetting port ata2.00: configured for MWDMA1 ata2: EH complete
All sorts of weird stuff. ide-legacy just hung at the udev stage.
Any ideas?
And on another note, testing in one emulator only is not a very extensive procedure. Simo and I noticed differences even between qemu and qemu-kvm behavior (so we should at the least be testing both of these), not to mention booting on real hardware.
I'll try to burn this sometime and boot it up on a real machine, we definitely need testing like that.

As i stated last time iso testing is easy: 1. use your favorite emulator (qemu,virtualbox,vmware etc.) 2. extract kernel and initramdisk from iso file fire up those 2 files from grub and install to external media like usb disk by mounting the iso manually to install environment 3. use real cds greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
