[arch-releng] new testbuilds
http://build.archlinux.org/isos/2010.12.18/ a quick rundown of recent changes: * several aif bugfixes and improvements, mostly related to packages, filesystems, partitioning, font,keymap,editor selection, more robust checking if packages got installed properly, improved example configs for automatic profile, etc. * aif usability enhancements: - several nicer menu's in various places - package selection shows package info when you hover over it (note there's a small bug that causes packages to be ordered incorrectly, fixed in git but not worth rebuilding for). if you want the new package: http://build.archlinux.org/repos/releng-any/aif-2010.04.18-1-any.pkg.tar.xz (built from git, btrfs branch) * inclusion of nilfs and btrfs utilities, and support in aif. aif nilfs support should just work. aif has rudimental btrfs support, but untested. * a whole bunch of archiso changes by Gerardo (remove joe, new directory layout, squashfs support -although I don't know how this affects the images -, ..) * libui-sh bugfixes * dual images using split profile. here is the roadmap for the next official release. https://bugs.archlinux.org/roadmap/proj6 it doesn't include stuff like gpt or wireless support, because i have my hands more then full already. I would appreciate it if people can give this a testrun and report feedback. maybe even contribute patches.. everything should work nicely, except btrfs. and nilfs and btrfs utilities can't get installed to the target system. and initscripts needs a nilfs patch before that can work properly too.

After a short and fairly standard test with netinstall-dual in a virtualbox, trying to install x86_64 I was presented with a "OPERATING SYSTEM MISSING" message. Apparently grub hasn't been installed? I set up /boot (ext2) and / (ext4) as well as swap. I installed base and base-devel and left the rest of the configuration fairly untouched. I don't have time to investigate further. This was just a heads-up. -- Sven-Hendrik

Looks to me like a SYSLINUX error.

Thanks for the feedback, though this is virtually useless to me if I don't know whether you performed the grub installation and whether it said something like 'grub installed' or 'grub install failed'. and do you get this error when booting the installed system (without the iso being loaded in the virtual cd drive?)

Well grub said it was installed successfully. I now did it again and selected the first entry which actually worked and the system booted. I also don't think the selection is supposed to look like this: http://i.imgur.com/G8BJ4.png Probably a bug. Or I just can't make sense from that selection.

the selection is messed up, indeed. do me a favour and: install the libui-sh and aif packages from http://build.archlinux.org/repos/releng-any/ then install curl, then retry the install, making sure aif runs with debugging and logging enabled (add the -d and -l flags to the command in /arch/setup) if you hit the same bug, run aif-report-issues.sh this will submit all aif's temporary and logfiles to a pastebin, report the bug on the bugtracker and give me the report url provided to you by the script. as for your first problem, if you install grub anywhere else then /dev/sda or maybe /dev/sda1 it won't work. since your selection does not include /dev/sda1, any selection other then /dev/sda will cause problems.

One other thing I just now noticed is that a completely standard installation gives a fail on boot: http://imgur.com/lMlvA.png Anyhow, I did what you said and I hit the bug again but I can't find aif-report-issues.sh anywhere nor anything with a similar name.

As per IRC, I retried with your new packages. One thing I noticed is that the IP configurator tells you that IP acquisition failed while my interface was already configured before running the setup. A minor bug there. With your packages, I get this http://sprunge.us/MjLg Hopefully that's useful. However, you should also be able to reproduce this easily yourself.

I would file that as pebcak. unless you were forced to rerun dhcpcd?

I have done aif installs literally hundreds of times, never seen this before. I'll check out those files and see what I can do, in the meanwhile can you create a ticket for this? Dieter
