new images are done. version: 2010.05.13
these are the images I want to rename to an official 2010.05 release after testing.
http://build.archlinux.org/isos/Changelog http://build.archlinux.org/isos/
how should they be tested?
for every file, that is:
archlinux-2010.05.13-core-dual.iso archlinux-2010.05.13-core-i686.iso archlinux-2010.05.13-core-x86_64.iso archlinux-2010.05.13-netinstall-dual.iso archlinux-2010.05.13-netinstall-i686.iso archlinux-2010.05.13-netinstall-x86_64.iso
I want to get a report from someone that an installation went fine. what kind of install doesn't really matter. manual, automatic, autoprepare, net/core whatever. this has been tested enough before, so any kind of install with each single image.
On top of that, I want: A) confirmation for virtio_pci and virtio_blk on the install ISO's initramfs http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19401?project=6 B) at least one installation performed from a usb stick, using any of the above images.
So if you test: send a reply mentioning which file you tested, and optionally if you can confirm A/B
thanks for you help, Dieter
I just successfully installed arch64 from a usb stick, using archlinux-2010.05.13-core-dual.iso. Installed it with lvm on top of dmcrypt, without any problems.
Tested: archlinux-2010.05.13-core-i686.iso Medium: USB Victim: HP Mini 311 laptop, dual boot with Windows 7 Verdict- wow, this has gotten really smooth. Done in 20 minutes after having not done an install in some time. Thanks for all the work you've put into it. Two notes: * When trying to set up the system time, the whole machine hung for like 45 seconds. Not sure what happened there but couldn't find any bad output. * Partition mapping could be a bit more useful. I had to page back and forth between `cat /proc/partitions` and `parted -l` output to make sure I didn't royally F things up. I'll see if I can turn this into a feature request and maybe even a patch. -Dan
