I had same issue when using first version. I think that error is in code i pasted below, but i don't know how to confirm it. Not sure if this remains in latest beta, since i'm having some trouble booting it. Will report later if i find out more. if [ ${found} -eq 0 ]; then msg ":: Scanning usb drives..." for usb in /dev/sd[a-z][0-9]; do [ ! -e "${usb}" ] && continue if mount -r -t vfat "${usb}" /bootmnt >/dev/null 2>&1 ||\ mount -r -t ext2 "${usb}" /bootmnt >/dev/null 2>&1; then if [ -e "/bootmnt/isomounts" ]; then found=1 msg "${usb}" break fi else echo "Failed to mount ${usb}" fi [ ${found} -eq 0 ] && umount /bootmnt >/dev/null 2>&1 done fi Vladislav Guberinic (Владислав Губеринић) On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 9:55 AM, Grigorios Bouzakis <grbzks@gmail.com> wrote:

Bugs fixed in git, not on an ISO: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12896 (dupe, above) - with usbdelay instead of rootdelay http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12944 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12947
So. Please test the beta2 bugs and issues, so we can close them. I want to make sure there's no other installer bugs before I release another package and rebuild the ISOs
If all goes well, I'll build and release the final 2009.01 release on Wed or so.

I just noticed that when booting with the USB i get some messages like the following:
EXT2-fs: /dev/sda1 couldnt mount because of unsupported optional features (240) failed to mount /dev/sda1 failed to mount /dev/sda2 (thats the swap) EXT2-fs: /dev/sda3 couldnt mount because of unsupported optional features (240) failed to mount /dev/sda3
/dev/sda1 & 3 are EXT4 partitions. I thought it was related with the lack of the rootdelay option at first but its not. Is that something known? I dont know if this happens with other than EXT4 partitions. Also its something in the [archiso] hook thats been causing these. The regular kernel doesnt produce them.
