Thread is old. It was marked solved in 2009. While no necro-bumping has taken place, several posts are no longer relevant.
For USB install images, the solution (changing the label) is mentioned in the wiki.
The last few comments are just notes of thanks. There's no harm in that but it's not a sufficient reason to keep this thread alive.
Here's what I did to make it work.
- I formatted my USB flash drive in FAT32 and labelled it ARCH_201005
- I used the following tool on Win7: unetbootin-windows-471.exe
- I used the following ISO: archlinux-2010.05-core-x86_64.iso
- Boot my linux box with my USB flash drive.The fix is the label name as I found that it was doing a by-label search when it failed.
Hope this can help someone.
thanks for this info.
that has saved my day.
installing arch201108 netinstall iso in a eeepc 901.
]]>Many Thanks !!!
p.s. i had the problem occure on a EEEPC 1215n with a Win7 primary installed.
]]>At the ramfs$ prompt:
[ramfs /]# udevadm trigger
[ramfs /]# exit
This was the only one that worked for me, thanks slience.
]]>I'm trying to install Arch to my netbook but I get the same error.
I tried every solution here but none of them works.
When I do "ln -s /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH... /dev/archiso" and "exit" I get the kernel panic.
(I also set the label to ARCH_201005)
I tried installing with Flashnul but that seems to 'break' the stick because there's just unallocated space afterwards.
The same happens when I try to dd the image to usb.
I already installed a distro with the usb stick so it's not totally useless.
Something else I might try?

This.
This is definitely the part that fixed it for me. Except, i was already sitting at the terminal so I typed:
ramfs$ mv /dev/disk/by-label/[name of your device] /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201005
ramfs$ exit
and that's it. None of the rest of the commands in this thread made a difference for me. I even restarted the install to try it again and simply renaming the device to ARCH_201005 does it.
ps. Installed from USB device on eeepc 901

This.
]]>Solution: well, it might not really be a solution for everyone, but I eventually installed Linux Mint, which "just works." The GUI, wireless and touch pad all work with the default install on the Dell Mini 10v. I'd like to get my Linux legs under myself a bit, then maybe come back to Arch, but for now I'm up and running. Thanks!

Please, it's obvious that you are trying to advertise for Linux Mint. Arch isn't meant to "just work".

]]>I'm sure there's an easy way to get this boot rolling along, but I am not too familiar with booting new OS's. I'm determined though, Arch seems wonderful.
The .iso file (archlinux-2010.05-netinstall-x86_64) is located on my C drive: "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads" If that matters.

So I tried 'ln -sf /dev/scsi0 /dev/archiso' as well as a few others, but none work! What am I doing wrong!?
]]>I had this problem from a cdrom for some reason.
I had 2x 1.5 tb disks I recently bought i wanted to setup as a raid.
anyway. I just did
#ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/archisoand then typed exit
Thank you very much! I used this command, only changed /dev/sr0 to /dev/sdb1 and now I have a working arch-i586 on my Via C3
