I googled it and found that this is a bug. It apparently has to do with having windows installed as well. I am dual booting win 7 and arch. I was unable to find a solution. Do I need to reinstall grub from the cd? Maybe install grub from Super Boot manager from an Ubuntu live dvd?
My boot settings:
UEFI: windows boot manager automatically boots first. It hands off to Grub if I click "Arch Linux"
Grub loads and I get the "Starting cmain()... " error that lasts about a minute to a minute and a half. I am on laptop so this wastes battery power.
Grub boots after getting past the error.
Does anyone know how to fix this error?
