The install process finished correctly in VirtualBox virtual machines: · Image: archlinux-2009.01-beta3-ftp-i686-isolinux.iso 30.01.09 09:49 · VM Configuration: -> ACPI : Enabled -> IO APIC: Enabled -> VT-x: Enabled, not enabling nested paging. -> PAE: Enabled -> Primary HD connected to a SATA port. -> Network adapter: Intel Gigabit Desktop. -> USB: Enabled, EHCI too. · Partition layout: Autoprepare like, all ext4. · Installed packages: Base only. · Bootloader: Grub 2nd install: Same thing, partition layout: ext2 /boot, ext4 /home, ext4 /, reiserfs /var. 3rd install: Still same configuration, partition layout: ext3 /boot, ext4 / and /home, jfs /tmp, xfs /var. 4th install, same as above but: -> IO APIC: Disabled. -> VT-x: Disabled. -> PAE: Disabled. -> Primary HD connected via IDE master, not SATA. -> Layout: Same as 3rd install. Issues corrected: -> The next item bug (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12947) appears to be corrected (at least here :S). -> Mirror used during install is correctly reflected in mirrorlist, no more "core" hardcoded :). (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12944) Bad ones (in my opinion they're not critical, installation is correct): -> Textinfo and bash packages: "scriptlet failed to execute successfully", as always. -> Bash, readline and ncurses dependency problem, as always. -> I confirm the archiso-early problem in this image ( http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13049) I'll now perform installs on real hardware, though I can't try RAIDs nor LVM configurations right now.
