[arch-general] final final testing images
Okay guys, props to Thomas for finding out the problem with the initialization of wireless cards. I built new images, dated 2010.05.16 (aka "final final images" ;)) in which this should be fixed, and which also come with updated core packages, most notably kernel26-2.6.33.4-1 http://build.archlinux.org/isos/ thanks to everyone who tested the 2010.05.13 (or earlier) images. i received confirmation for 4 images with which a boot+installation went fine. for netinstall-dual.iso I only reiceved confirmation that it boots fine (but that's enough, given the other tested images). However i got no feedback for the core-x86_64 image. So right now, these two things are needed: * confirmation that archlinux-2010.05.16-core-x86_64.iso boots fine. * confirmation that wireless cards are properly initialised now. cheers, and stay tuned for a release soonish :) Dieter

Would like to help testing it out, but my weekend internet (home connection) sucks, and by the time I get into the office it may be done already. In any case, if that doesn't happen I'll try to get the last two things confirmed. By 'boots' I assume you mean from CD? I intend to try it out on my physical system using unetbootin, but if you want it from CD I can just fire up VBox. Which would you prefer? Physical means I should be able to test wifi as well.

from CD or USB should not matter much, in vbox would be fine, but on a physical system is better :) Dieter

I did an offline installation with archlinux-2010.05.16-core-x86_64.iso in VirtualBox and it went flawlessly. I also used dm_crypt for the root partition and experienced no issues with that either. :) The new Grub theme used in the installation media is looking very sharp too. I love it. :) Awesome work Dieter!

I've just tried it out using the dual netinstall iso. My Wi-Fi Intel 5300 AGN gets recognized and I could connect to my WPA encrypted network. I can't tell anything about the installer, as I didn't used it, just tried out whether my wireless card works. Great to see it working, last time I had to mess around with the ethernet ... -- Best regards, Karol Babioch

Thanks again to all who tested again. so quickly :) no more testing is needed. I will prepare these images for release. Dieter

I downloaded 'archlinux-2010.05.16-core-i686.iso' yesterday evening and tried it this morning from an USB stick. A netinstall works, but trying a core install produces an error box saying that the directory containing the packages is not available. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !

I just booted the image in question, and the packages seemed to be in the right place. I didn't try to install though.

Fons, please report that as a bug on the bugtracker. also give us the output of `df -h`, and `ls -alhR /src` Dieter
