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 :)
Hmm, i looked how we call it in the installer, and it is: $DESTDIR/sbin/grub-install --recheck --root-directory=$DESTDIR $ROOTDEV
/tmp/grub.log 2>&1 DESTDIR is alread /mnt, so you never make use of grub-gfx in this part of the installer if your base installation have grub installed.
grub-gfx is only the bootloader on the Live-CD part of the ISO. On the installation system you should always get grub from core (package installation has not the ability to install grub-gfx to /mnt). Thinking further (my first reply to your mail was written with fewer coffees <g>): If you ran into this problem all testers of x86_64 iso/images should have the same problem. But i don't see other reports (But seems that only you tested the x86_64 versions...) Could please test some other the x86_64 ISOs and confirm that we have a problem there with grub? Gerhard
