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.
