Wait for official announcement from tpowa.
]]>All Archboot GRUB2 users:
The syntax for installing grub2 (both bios and uefi) changed in 2.00beta{1,2,3}. What existed in 1.99 was actually a hack and the command used in 2.00beta3 is the proper one. The setup script in 2012.01-1 iso works only with 1.99 release. The script in the git repo has been updated to work with grub2 2.00beta3.
So either you have to use local grub2 packages (1.99) or if you want to install grub2 2.00beta3, you need to update the setup script as well. To update the setup script in existing iso.
(CWD) - dir containing archlinux-2012.01-1-archboot.iso
1. Install grub2-efi-x86_64, libisoburn, syslinux
2. Copy https://bitbucket.org/the_ridikulus_rat … ller/setup to (CWD)/setup
3. Copy https://bitbucket.org/the_ridikulus_rat … ate-iso.sh to (CWD)/archboot-update-iso.sh
4. (Optional) _REMOVE_i686="0" in (CWD)/archboot-update-iso.sh (to retain i686 files)
5. Run "sudo (CWD)/archboot-update-iso.sh (CWD)/archlinux-2012.01-1-archboot.iso"Updated iso will be saved at (CWD)/archlinux-2012.01-1-archboot_updated.iso .
Ah, great, I was struggling with some grub2 error for few hours. I had issues like "grub-mkdevicemap: No such file or directory". I assume your solution fixes that? But the problem is that, right now i do not have working installation of Arch.
I also tried following wiki information about installing grub2 but i have some issue with efivars. grub-install command fails with message: Try loading efivars, or sth like that. But calling "modprobe efivars" does not fix it

I kind of feel lost at this point. Can someone brief me in, please? I am new to UEFI world of pain :-)
]]>Just checking to see if you were still around and if anything new is happening with grub2?
Thanks,

When I try to build grub2 2.00~beta1 I get " error: target not found: grub2-common=1:2.00beta1" . Sure this is my mistake, how to rectify the issue. I dont see the missing package, am I just overlooking it?
Thanks,
Jeff
grub2-efi-x86_64=1:2.00beta1 depends on grub2-common=1:2.00beta1 , so you should have that package installed to be able to build using makepkg. Anyway you can try the 2.00~beta2 (x86_64) packages from https://www.dropbox.com/s/jep9t8edsgx3yt6 .

]]>I've tried compiling grub2 2.00~beta1 using the PKGBUILD on AUR.The grub2 is working but also the same problem that cannot boot to the setup program.
It will leave the screen with black and reboot automatic later. I don't think it is the problem from grub2 now, but maybe from the boot image.
