Hi!
I have installed AL on a USB memory stick (default base packages were selected) using uuid for partitions identification. On booting boot partition is found, but GRUB claims partition type is 82 (instead of 83). I have used manual partitioning, and, of course, /boot is Linux partition rather swap one.
The aim is to have a Linux OS for home NAS on flash drive. I have tried Ubuntu Server, it boots from flash drive without problems. But Arch is more appropriate distribution for NAS, I think, as it hasn't pain upgrade procedure as Ubuntu has.
Where to dig in?

Are you selecting the right partition with grub's 'root' parameter?
Can you provide us with the partition table and the grub configuration?

Sure. Not-commented out lines from /boot/grub/menu.lst:
timeout 5
default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/b6526d0b-875d-46b7-8448-7beb2608c544 ro
initrd /kernel26.img
# (1) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/b6526d0b-875d-46b7-8448-7beb2608c544 ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
hd0 is a hard drive. Partitions are:
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sdb1 Boot Primary Linux ext2 131.61
sdb2 Primary Linux ext3 10001.95
sdb3 Primary Linux ext3 5000.98
sdb4 Primary Linux swap / Solaris 1093.97
I have tried grub>find /[tab] to be sure a root is appropriate. Both img are there.

Or such fdisk output with explicit type ids:
-----------
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 8006 MB, 8006926336 bytes
247 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1021 cylinders

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000737ef

/dev/sdb2 919 1021 788671 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb3 14 918 6929585 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
-----------
Have no idea wrt "not in disk order"..

Don't take in mind. I have found my fault. In grub shell I didn't changed root before 'find' command. Sorry for noise. Just first playing with grub.
