First of all I'd like to say nice project.
And heres my first feedback: When I tried booting it up on my LG A1 (No internal CD-Rom) it kernel paniced on me saying: Couldn't find CD-Rom.
Ah, interesting.
Simo, I forget, are we still loading usb and firewire hooks before scanning for the cdrom? The obvious issue here is that the right modules weren't loaded for this external cdrom.
Maybe this is grub-related. Afaik tpowa switch back from grub to syslinux because grub could not boot from certain devices.
The kernel would never get loaded if this was a grub issue- I think Aaron is right in that we don't have all the necessary drivers in our initrd, so the driver for his external CD drive wasn't loaded. Simo, I assume this is a sample FTP installer by its name. I did notice some things when attempting to run through a "install from CD" type run, and that is that mount requires the user to be root (which was the case on the archboot-based installer, but the push here seems to be to use 'arch' as the user), and that the location of the packages is hardcoded to a specific mountpoint and directory. Just things to keep in mind later on. -Dan
