ARCHISO Usage {SOLVED}

OrangeRoot1000 · 2010-08-22 02:20:34

I installed ARCHISO today on a x86_64 box. It is upgraded to the most current Kernel and packages. The isomounts file is set to 64 bit as is the Makefile with its variable line for uname -m

Here is the error in terminal:

====> Creating working directory: /home/orangeroot1000/Desktop/MyArchISOMaker
====> Installing packages to '/home/orangeroot1000/Desktop/MyArchISOMaker/root-image/'
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
make: *** [root-image] Error 1

I don't see any other place that a script would be pulling information from except those two places. Ideas? Help?

Architecture is taken from /etc/pacman.conf. You'll want to add this line to the [options] section if it isn't already there:

Architecture = auto

mkarchiso -p "mkinitcpio mkinitcpio-busybox base base-devel dnsutils syslinux" create "/home/orangeroot1000/Desktop/MyArchISOMaker"
mkarchiso : Configuration Settings
working directory: /home/orangeroot1000/Desktop/MyArchISOMaker
image name: none
====> Creating working directory: /home/orangeroot1000/Desktop/MyArchISOMaker
====> Installing packages to '/home/orangeroot1000/Desktop/MyArchISOMaker/root-image/'
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
make: *** [root-image] Error 1

I made the change to auto in pacman.conf. Then I played around with adding/subtracting my own packages and then using pacman to find out only those items off the wiki that are installed. Along with what I understand limitedly is going on with this script. From the time of the change to what is shown there and where I am going to stop at the night. Everything is pulling up conflicting dependencies. I got rid of the the stuff that was automatically included in base and base-devel because it was basically listed 2x. Still no dice.

Note: As of the current date, the archiso in extra is not up-to-date enough to follow this guide and its usage is therefore not recommended.

Well that brought that ride to an end kind of quickly. Guess I have to wait or open up testing. Na, I'll wait.
