After a short and fairly standard test with netinstall-dual in a virtualbox, trying to install x86_64 I was presented with a "OPERATING SYSTEM MISSING" message. Apparently grub hasn't been installed? I set up /boot (ext2) and / (ext4) as well as swap. I installed base and base-devel and left the rest of the configuration fairly untouched.

I don't have time to investigate further. This was just a heads-up.

-- Sven-Hendrik Thanks for the feedback, though this is virtually useless to me if I don't know whether you performed the grub installation and whether it said something like 'grub installed' or 'grub install failed'. and do you get this error when booting the installed system (without the iso being loaded in the virtual cd drive?)

Well grub said it was installed successfully. I now did it again and selected the first entry which actually worked and the system booted. I also don't think the selection is supposed to look like this: http://i.imgur.com/G8BJ4.png

Probably a bug. Or I just can't make sense from that selection. the selection is messed up, indeed. do me a favour and: install the libui-sh and aif packages from http://build.archlinux.org/repos/releng-any/ then install curl, then retry the install, making sure aif runs with debugging and logging enabled (add the -d and -l flags to the command in /arch/setup) if you hit the same bug, run aif-report-issues.sh this will submit all aif's temporary and logfiles to a pastebin, report the bug on the bugtracker and give me the report url provided to you by the script.

as for your first problem, if you install grub anywhere else then /dev/sda or maybe /dev/sda1 it won't work. since your selection does not include /dev/sda1, any selection other then /dev/sda will cause problems.

Dieter

One other thing I just now noticed is that a completely standard installation gives a fail on boot: http://imgur.com/lMlvA.png

Anyhow, I did what you said and I hit the bug again but I can't find aif-report-issues.sh anywhere nor anything with a similar name.

As per IRC, I retried with your new packages. One thing I noticed is that the IP configurator tells you that IP acquisition failed while my interface was already configured before running the setup. A minor bug there.

I would file that as pebcak. unless you were forced to rerun dhcpcd?

With your packages, I get this http://sprunge.us/MjLg

Hopefully that's useful. However, you should also be able to reproduce this easily yourself.

I have done aif installs literally hundreds of times, never seen this before. I'll check out those files and see what I can do, in the meanwhile can you create a ticket for this? Dieter
