[arch-ports] [x86_64] new ISOs for testing out
I made a new set of ISOs for the Arch64 port. I used tpowa's mkbootcd/archboot - these're great tools. CDs were made with all current packages up to date until yesterday. This time we have a full current cd(still uploading), a base cd and a ftp-only cd. So please test them and report bugs you will surely find. Network detection worked for me, trying a ftp install worked also well using ftp.archlinux.org. We use the same installer as arch32. So look for bugs in the installer and in our current packages as well. The CDs include the new glibc, openssl, db and gnutils updates. So it's not recommended to use the arch64.org repos anymore when you use the new cds. I'll try to fix and update all extra packages as soon as possible to get missing dependencies resolved. Until that you may decide to wait or try old arch64.org extra repo for missing packages. Good luck and praying for no showstopper bugs! And here they are: http://www.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/ AndyRTR
from the response i got the installation is going very well. i had two users reporting grub installs but is not working. this is weird because it's still the same old package. it would be nice if somebody who knows that our package works for him will try installing grub from the installer of the new isos. we should improve grub for the future. i hope to get it compile natively. but for now i don't time for that. other distributions are adding more patches (frugal, gentoo...). you all may test them and report if you find a good solution for your hardware. a good place for searching is also the Cross-LFS book. They had recently a similar discussion on their devel list. before i want to declare them official i'd like to make sure that grub also works if it is only a small fix. anyway with lilo all seems fine.

Ok, next shot. I've just finished uploading a new base and ftp iso. Full current cd will follow later. Changes: - glibc linker fixed - mc/mplayer dependecies fixed - memtest86+ included as a bootoption - grub segfault fixed - minor current updates until 2006-07-24 Please give feedback. This set should soon become our new final isos. AndyRTR
