[arch-general] Is last archboot iso completely busted ?
I was looking for an up-to-date archboot iso, and the last one is really broken. I'm speaking of archlinux-2013.03-1-archboot-dual.iso When I try to do a network based installation, package grabbing failed, with this error : errot : target not found : netctl. If I try doing a cdrom based installation, in configuration part, I cannot modify any single configuration file. I'm told they do not exist. Known bugs ? Busted ISO ? -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies@gmail.com

netctl still in testing is. to wait you have (or take netcfg).

It is not possible to deselect netctl at the moment. Please use cdrom mode at the moment. I'll look at GPT haven't tested this mode. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

Cdrom mode worked with mbr partitions types.
I'll look at GPT haven't tested this mode.
It was the first partition mode I tested. Post installation configuration gave me empty files for /etc/hostname, /etc/vconsole.conf and so on. When trying to save them, I was told they were not existing.

Have you used autoprepare mode? It mounts the vfat as / and this way it cannot work at all. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

So, this is why it doesn't work. I used autoprepare mode. I find GPT partitionning for UEFI to be a little complicated. Thanks for the info.

It is possible to use a live cd (or live usbkey) and run PartedMagic to do partitioning before starting the arch install. That is pretty straightforward to do, using the graphical parted facility once the livecd is running. When selecting to write a partition table you just select the GPT option from the pull down menu that is presented. Then you can choose the new partitions and complete the partitioning before starting. My UEFI system was done this way and works well. -- mike c
It's pretty simple to fix all UEFI partition mounting. At the beginning of the setup script: replace -_UEFISYS_MOUNTPOINT="/boot/efi" +UEFISYS_MOUNTPOINT="/boot/efi" and all should work as it should. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
New archboot files released the -2 files don't suffer from the mentioned problems anymore. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

Great. Thanks for the info. Will "play" with it as soon as they're released ;) -- Frederic Bezies - fredbezies@gmail.com Blog : http://frederic.bezies.free.fr/blog/
