[arch-dev-public] 2007.11-0.3 TEST ISO, 1 week signoff
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. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8435 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8431 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8422 - added some genpatches from gentoo - added fix for 2 ide modules in pair mode - added fix for zd1211rw oops greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
Hey, I did a test install of 2007.10-0.2 and it installed fine except for a few minor nits: * My hd came up as sda instead of the usual hda. Which module pata or ide is recommended or does it not matter? * Did you mean to say "lowmem image for <=64M" on the isolinux splash? * The hwdetect install feature packed my MODULES=() line with snd_* modules which I thought was funny.

* My hd came up as sda instead of the usual hda. Which module pata or ide is recommended or does it not matter? hmm seems you havent installed since .19 kernels ;) thats normal and hwdetect will add the correct module for you
* Did you mean to say "lowmem image for <=64M" on the isolinux splash? no, recommended are 64 and more because i cannot tell ya if it works with less memory and without swap space and all packages selected to install, becaus of the well known oom_killer in pacman.
* The hwdetect install feature packed my MODULES=() line with snd_* modules which I thought was funny. that is also since a long time to avoid sound issues and keep the order of sound cards, normal behviour.

Just the timing of the download. I burned the CD and then 0.3 came out. I'll try it in qemu.

Give or take the testing repo I'm always up to date! :) On my regular system: [22:50 kpiche@puffin ~]$ pacman -Q kernel26 kernel26 2.6.23.1-6 [22:50 kpiche@puffin ~]$ and HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide filesystems" gives me hda. The ISO uses pata hook which gives sda. Obviously my mkinitcpio.conf is old. I'm still curious as to what the recommended module is...

I just mean that on first read it sounded like: "if you have 64M or more use the low memory image". Maybe it's just me.
* The hwdetect install feature packed my MODULES=() line with snd_* modules which I thought was funny.

Cool, then it looks good to me.

We use pata as the default, because in the future, there will be no ide anymore (althought that may take another year or two). However, pata_sis is still experimental and I use the ide driver on my desktop for stability reasons. Some older Intel chipsets had problems in earlier versions, but I think those should all be fine now in 2.6.23. The rule is: If there are strange messages during the boot process with pata or access seems slow, use ide. Otherwise, use pata.
