Hello all, Just a "heads up" - I am currently rebuilding packages due to some dependency cycles in core that caused install scriptlets to fail when installing a new system.
Later today I want to push out a beta3 ISO containing the fixed packages (for the core images), and a new installer, in addition to a minor usbdelay related fix.
Now... I will be leaving for the weekend on a little vacation Friday night. What I'd like, when I push this out, is for people to "signoff" on this.
In order to signoff, please list: * The full name of the image used * Real hardware, or virtual machine * Bootloader used * FS types used (useful for ext4 or esoteric filesystems) * Other setup tweaks (encryption, lvm, etc) * Success / Failure * Related bug report links
We will not be completely able to fix 100% of bugs, so we need a "good enough for most people" rating, right now. If all goes as planned, the same beta3 images will be used for release.
If we run into too many issues, we may need to make this a 2009.02 release :(
Cheers, Aaron
Hi,
* archlinux-2009.01-beta3-core-i686.iso (sha1sum verified OK) * Virtualbox 2.1.2 (SATA HD) * GRUB * installation command: /arch/setup (base system only) * (manual partition) [sda1 / ext4] [sda5 /var ext4] [sda6 /home ext4] [sda3 swap] * { It contains old bash-3.2.048-2, glibc-2.9-2, and texinfo-4.13a-1 in /src/core/pkg :( Only the "live-root-fs" is update with these packages. Have the archiso-early problem: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13049 }
Installed system boot OK ;)
* archlinux-2009.01-beta3-core-x86_64.iso (sha1sum verified OK) * Virtualbox 2.1.2 (SATA HD) * GRUB * installation command: /arch/setup (base system only) * (manual partition) [sda1 / ext4] [sda5 /var ext4] [sda6 /home ext4] [sda3 swap] * { It contains old bash-3.2.048-2, glibc-2.9-2, and texinfo-4.13a-1 in /src/core/pkg :( Only the "live-root-fs" is update with these packages. Have the archiso-early problem: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13049 **** GRUB FAIL (setup reports OK) it uses grub-gfx (grub-install reference to /sbin/grub not /mnt/sbin/grub ) that fails in x86_64 **** }
To solve the GRUB problem when setup is finished, i executed: mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev chroot /mnt cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab ## df command need this, otherwise it fails and grub not installed. grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sda exit umount /mnt/dev umount /mnt/proc reboot
Installed system boot OK ;)
Also contructed with old readline, gcc, gcc-libs and fakeroot Ooohh! The grub-gfx installed at root-image-fs (x86_64) is the grub-gfx-0.97-7 (latest from community) and in i686 is 0.97-11. I tested compiling the grub-gfx for x86_84 sync to -11 version. copied with scp to installCD , pacman -U grub-gfx-0.97-11-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz And install grub like /arch/setup and now WORKS :) BTW: grub-gfx in ABS lack some patches, i copied all from ABS grub. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D
