Hi all, I am new to ArchLinux, a longtime OpenSUSE and Slax user looking for a change. Before I commit I usually want to try with a LiveCD or VirtualBox. Cant find a LiveCD and VirtualBox booting the ISO gives a Kernel Panic. Anyone that can help me?
I think I booted the Live CD successfully with VirtualBox. Which version did you use, did you use any special settings? What kind of kernel panic is happening?
I downloaded this ISO, archlinux-2009.02-core-i686.iso And tried booting in VirtualBox 1.6.2. Kernel panic as follows:
BUG: unable to handle kernel <1>Bug: unable handle kernel <1>:.........................
It goes on like that for about 6 lines.

Well, first thing to try is upgrading Vbox. 1.6 is quite old. The latest version is 2.1.4 or something afaik. Dieter
