Hello all,

I recently tried an "aif -p interactive" on some of the latest netinstall images from http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/, and I get an error:

"ERROR: ask_checklist makes only sense if you specify at least 1 thing (tag,item and ON/OFF switch)"

Also, if I try with the "aif -p automatic ...." it spews out the same errors along with "FATAL: Module aes-586 not found..." ? I also built a successful build of netinstall using the "archiso" build scripts, but with the same errors/results as above, when attemping to use "AIF" ?

Are these errors due to some src's that aif needs on these newer kernels/images/builds/installs that may be out of date ?

Thanks ahead. Rick.

"on *some of* the latest netinstinstall images" ?

when exactly do you get these errors?

I tried automatic and interactive with archlinux-2012.03.18_04-00-01-netinstall-i686.iso and I don't get these errors when invoking aif.

I'm sorry, but I'm NOT a developer, so I can NOT fix this for you, especially if everything is just "blather" as you say. But obviously, you guys can't fix these "latest" Netinstall/AIF issues either, and/or, you obviously just don't see these constant "failures". So, I will patiently wait for the next "Official/Stable" Release of Arch Linux, including the next "Official/Stable" versions of Arch "Netinstall"... And, until then, "archlinux-2011.08.19-netinstall-x86_64.iso" will have to suit my purposes. It works flawlessly compared to these (daily)releng headaches, and maybe that is the way it is. ? I am very happy with the "STABLE" "archlinux-2011.08.19-netinstall-x86_64.iso" - yes, and I may not ever need anything more in my life. Look, I understand this also involves so many different "departments" within Arch, that "everything" eventually becomes hard to manage. If that previous "link" I gave you, doesn't say enough ? then please, just forget this, it really ain't worth the propoganda of dealing with any of these "UNSTABLE" issues anymore, especially the politicaly-correct -> "we're good - so it must be your bug-reporting that is wrong" -advertisement ones. ?1 I wish I could really fix these obvious problems for you sir, but I can't, it is what it is. I also did not know that "AIF" is virtually alone in it's development. ?, and that's according to these Arch Developers who have told me so on the Arch forums, then again ? -off we go. Like I said, I wish I was a Dev, but....? If my "link" I gave to you is nothiong but "blather" as you say ?, then lets face it, according to the "MANY" most obvious complaints regarding the "failures" of ALL the latest releng/netinstall/aif's, then yours' SIR, is also nuthin' but "blather" as well.

There's a lot of blather in that thread. Bug reporting 101: * say what you used * say what you did * say what happened. * but first, check if bug already exists. if it does, see if you can add useful information.

And do that in a place that is fit for reporting bugs (such as a bugtracker)
