To be clear: this is not an error booting the ISO, but an error booting the installed system?
Grub error #2: http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html#stage1_5 "The selected disk doesn't exist"
I imagine this is ext4 related. You are using grub and not grub-gfx, correct?
Gerhard, any insight here? I, myself, haven't installed an ext4 system, so I am not sure about this.
No, i have seen no problems on my test installations when using the current versions (grub from core and grub-gfx from community). Both are on the same patch-level (bigger inode size patch and ext4 support patch).
I just tried doing the same ftp install with ext3 and I still got the same error. Also the same error with a ext4 core install. So it must be something from my side.
Stage 1.5 (resp. Stage 2 error 2): Aaron posted a link on error codes where this error code is "Selected disk doesn't exist", on gnu.org grub site it says: "2 : Bad file or directory type". Have you ever had installed Arch and Grub on this system? So that you can say: this error is only on a new installation with the new isos?
I tried to change the root setting in grub and the kernel root=/dev/sda1 parameter, instead of the UUID, but I still got the same problem.
Maybe you could show us your disk(s) layout (fdisk -l) and grub's menu.lst (and the content of /boot/grub/device.map. Gerhard
