Hi, (sorry my english) I installed (using /arch/setup in VirtualBox 2.1.2) the archlinux-2009.01-beta2-core-i686.iso and when installing the packages texinfo and bash this message appears "error: /scriptlet failed to execute/ correctly.", then no entries in /usr/share/info/dir for bash and texutils are created. (of course, there is no bash in the chroot /mnt at this point) Reinstalling bash and texutils, solves the problem. When setting the timezone, "local -> America / Argentina / Buenos Aires" (-0200 now) at confirm prompt, the time displayed in "zone time" and "UTC" are incorrect. For example: Localtime are 4:00 then at prompt it display "localtime 2:00" and "UTC 4:00". But when advancing in the setup , and setting the current clock, the time is displayed OK ;) And may be for the next release: the mkinitcpio is executed 2 x 2 times (two when installing the kernel26 packages (from base install) for default and fallback images)) and another two times when "configure system" whithout care if the mkinitcpio.conf have been modified or not. Solution? Maybe --ignore kernel26 at "install packages point" and installing them when "configure system", to save some time. I put these bugs/suggestions in the bug database "release engineering"?

I made bug reports for these. Its a problem with the packages not the installation. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13007 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13008 & http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13010 Greg

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. Greg

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 wrote:

This sounds right. I remember someone saying that ext4 partitions no longer mount as ext2 (whereas ext3 partitions do). What this loop does is try to mount what it can and look for the device we booted from. I guess we could make this more sophisticated by using klibc's fstype. Greg, does this break booting, or are they simply error messages spit out?

No, it doesnt break booting. You just see the messages. A simple way to see them is to not use rootdelay as it happens right before the usb hook. I dont know if it breaks anything liveCD related though. The installation i performed went just fine. Just like the previous time only this time using the beta2 i686 img, not gebra's fix-usb img alpha i had used before. Greg

--no-floppy doesn't make a difference - also not on virtualbox. It only don't probe for a floppy drive. I've made since Christmas 2008 about 30 installations with our different private/alpha/beta isos, on virtualbox/qemu and real machines. I never run into a problem installing the bootloader. Without ext4 patch and how we called grub installation in the old installer - that leads to many problems booting such a system. But installing grub should not be that probems we get here since a few days. I only (could) test i686. Will you try if you could reproduce this behavior with the x86_64 iso from which you done your install? Gerhard

Bugs fixed in Beta2: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12936 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12896 with rootdelay=X specified http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11408 isolinux fallback ISOs http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11152

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.

Hi,

I booted (virtualbox 2.1.2) the archlinux-2009.01-beta2-core-x86_64.iso and display these two errors messages at startup:

:: Running Hook [archiso-early] /init: 9: cannot create /: Is a directory /init: 9: /etc/modprobe.d/usb-delay: not found :: Running Hook [udev]

The instalation runs OK, but when installing GRUB, this not installed. /arch/setup, display that are installed OK but in /tmp/grub.log

The file /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.

I used the same configuration of partitions and filesystems that with i686

sda1 / with EXt3 or EXT4 sda5 /var sda6 /home

Trying to installing manual with grub-install fail with the same error. md5sum of the stage1 are OK.

BTW: booting with archlinux-2009.01-beta2-core-i686.iso in this machine that installed arch64 and executing:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt grub-install --no-floppy --recheck --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

works OK, and grub is now installed.

Is the only difference the --no-floppy switch?

No, the same error appears when trying to reinstall GRUB with the x86_64 iso from the bash prompt with this command.

In resume: Installing arch64 with /arch/setup grub FAIL (No error message at setup, it displayed that installed OK) Opening a root console ALT+F2 and executing "grub-install --no-floppy --recheck --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda" FAIL. Chrooting to /mnt (before with --bind mount proc, sys and dev), grub-install OK Reboot, boot again x86_64 iso, logging as root, mounting sda1, executing the grub-install then FAIL. Reboot, boot i686 iso, logging as root, mounting sda1, executing the grub-install then OK

I have not tested on a real machine, only in virtualbox 2.1.2, maybe an issue with it, it is running at 32 bits host system, i will reboot on arch64 and retry installing grub at vbox.

Nop, same error running virtualbox on 64 bits.

The solution is, or chroot in /mnt or when executing grub-install using the grub in /mnt/sbin not in the /sbin (grub-sfx)

Aha, that's an important distinction. I totally ignored that the ISO is using grub-gfx. Hmmmm

Hi, As posted in the forums [1] (but you might not read that), I'm willing to test the ISOs, too, but I'm unable to boot from it. Can some explain (or point me to a relevant page) how to make an Isolinux image from a GRUB ISO? Then I would be able to boot from flash disc (no cd-rom) and give the installer a try (and report here/in flyspray). Thanks in advance. Regards, Marcel [1] http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=488768#p488768

Please ignore this not too clever question, I didn't think an Isolinux-ISO was available already. Regards, Marcel

Should we expect another beta release before the final? Personallu i would like to use one that those bugs solved in git are not an issue, even if its the same as the final. Greg
