now i'm looking for a 0.8 beta 2 iso, but can't find it anywhere.. is it still around there? or should i try to install arch 0.7.2 at a friend's place or something?
]]>I tried to install Archo 0.8 beta 2, and when it comes to select packages, it says that no cdrom drives where found !
(obviously, since I juste booted and ran the setup tool from there, it IS there)
I then rebooted my computer and typed : arch ide-legacy.
Result : no more problem !
Just wanted you to know about this "issue", and that it is very good to propose such options before booting !
By the way my laptop is 3 years old with an ide cd-rom drive.
Too bad my internet connection does not work ... (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=30292 )
cheers !
]]>"no cd drives were found"
"cat (cd) /boot/boot.msg
error 23: error while parsing number"
i have an asus m/b, p5b-vm, core2 duo, 1gb ram, sata 160gb hd, vga intel on board, lg dvdrw
I have this exact problem, with the exact same result if I try a 0.8 ISO.
I have an Intel P4 CPU, an Abit AB9 mobo, a SATA HDD and an IDE DVD/CD combo drive.
The only difference between me and the OP is that quite a few other distros have trouble with my SATA controller too.

any ideas?
]]>Also, if that dosn't work, what kind of computer are you installing Arch on? What kind of CD rom drive do you have?
