Provide more info, like how and where did you install arch, and if you are using LVM, RAID, Disk Encryption etc.
Also post the output of

fdisk -l

(typed as root ( sudo fdisk -l))

thank you aaditya.
I install arch to "AEC6840" AEC6840 , this hardware is use for a several years.
I install arch by followed the web https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … _Interface
and this web https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … tion_Media
This is my fdisk -l result http://www.temppic.com/img.php?13-09-20 … 150000.jpg
please advice me.

whenever you are asked to post the ouput of some command, copy the output from the terminal and paste it in the reply, using the code blocks (for help, click on the BBCode:on link at the bottom of the post)
From what I see you have 3 partitions-
1. /boot
2. /
3. /home
Is that right?
Also are you using NFS (Network File System), or any kind of drive on the network?
Also post the output of

cat /etc/fstab

See this bug report as well https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35237
Also, If you are using the linux39 kernel, switch to either linux310 or linux311.

kongimi · 2013-09-13 17:12:30

Sorry for my post.
I can't copy command's output because I install only arch linux, no have other OS in my hardware, don't know howto get log file,
and don't know how to install web browser on arch.
answer your question.
Yes, have 3 partition.
1./
2./home
3.swap
I'm using ext4 on sda1 and sda2.

the result of nano /etc/fstab is fstab
I already use linux 3.10.10-1-ARCH

aaditya · 2013-09-13 17:29:16

haha
your partition setup seems to be okay.
keep searching for the shutdown problem (the link to the bug that I posted has been reopened).
Meanwhile,
to install a web browser,

sudo pacman -S firefox

You can copy from the terminal by highlighting using the Shift+Arrow keys,
then right click-> copy.
Also RTFM
(if you dont know google that )
and read the wiki.

Thank you for your advice.
I'll try it and tell the result.

aaditya · 2013-09-14 04:41:19

Find an old post in which its suggested

try typing :
modprobe apm
and then typing
shutdown -h now
and see if that was the problem ...

Edit-
Reading the bug report..
can you switch ttys after its stuck on "Storage is finalised"?
Ctrl+Alt+F1
Ctrl+Alt+F2
..
If you can, try logging in again, and type

sudo shutdown now

Please install something like wgetpaste so that you do not need to keep posting screenshots. (wgetpaste lets you paste directly from the command line without any need for a GUI and gives you a url you can post here using whatever web access you are using for this thread.)

What command are you using to shut down?

Is your system completely up-to-date?

How are you booting?

Also, the journal and/or log may tell you something useful.

# journalctl --full --no-pager > /tmp/journal.txt

and then use wgetpaste to paste the file somewhere you can link to.

Thank you for your advice, cfr.
I install arch 2013.07.01 from CD to the empty hard disk, only arch in my hardware(not in the virtual box), then when it hang, i can't do anything and then I use other computer to post here.

What command are you using to shut down?

I use command shutdown, shutdown -h now, reboot, all of them give the same result.(stop at storage is finalized).

Is your system completely up-to-date?

My system is up-to-date by
# pacman -S syslinux
# syslinux-install_update -i -a -m

How are you booting?

I don't understand. I think you mean UEFI mode right or not? I not use UEFI mode.

Also, the journal and/or log may tell you something useful.

I use command line "wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
My log file here.

WonderWoofy · 2013-09-15 03:19:33

My system is up-to-date by
# pacman -S syslinux
# syslinux-install_update -i -a -m

This is not updating your system. This will simply install the syslinux package and then actually update the bootloader.

kongimi · 2013-09-15 03:40:57

Thank you WonderWoofy, I try it already with "pacman -Syu". It's still hang.

And can't boot forever, haha I'll change my hardware first. Continue on monday.

aaditya · 2013-09-15 05:55:27

Read the suggestions man!

cfr said:

# journalctl --full --no-pager > /tmp/journal.txt
and then use wgetpaste to paste the file somewhere you can link to.

so do-

wgetpaste /tmp/journal.txt

after doing what cfr suggested, and give the link here.

haha you really need to read the wiki / beginners guide.

This is correct now.

Actually, in post #12 he has already done that.

Sorry if I misunderstand, but I think what he has done in post #12 is

I use command line "wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
My log file here.

whereas perhaps this was required

journalctl --full --no-pager > /tmp/journal.txt
wgetpaste /tmp/journal.txt

Ah yes, you are right. I thought, you were asking him to use wgetpaste (didn't pay attention to the log file).

Hi Kongimi!

I had the same issue, and I THINK it was my video drivers that were messing with me. Does startx work for you as it should? Before I had my xf86 drivers and nvidia drivers worked out my computer also hanged at the exact same spot.

kongimi · 2013-09-20 15:46:55

Hi, every body.:)
After I change my hardware(same model), I try to follow the web carefully.
Please read my step and tell my mistake. If you see it.
1. This picture is boot from CD, It's not have "Boot Arch Linux x86_64 " menu because my motherboard not have UEFI firmware, right or not? pleae tell me.
1. Using fdisk to create MBR partitions. It's have 2 partitions. No swap partition.
2. mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 and 2
3. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
4. mkdir /mnt/home
5. mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/home
6. nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist for edit mirrorlist
7. pacstrap /mnt base
8. genfstab -U -p mnt >> mnt/etc/fstab
9. nano /mnt/etc/fstab for check fstab
10. arch-chroot /mnt
11. nano /etc/locale.gen for configure font.
12. echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
13. export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
14. echo myhostname > /etc/hostname
15. pacman -S syslinux
16. syslinux-install_update -i -a -m
17. nano /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg for change "APPEND root=/dev/sda3" to sda1(fallback too)
18. pacman -S grub
19. grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /dev/sda
20. grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
21. exit (chroot)
22. umount -R /mnt
23. reboot
Then this picture happened.
And It's not reboot except off the power switch.

After power on again I continue follow the same web.
24. pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit
25. pacman -S mesa
26. pacman -S xf86-video-vesa (I can't find correct driver.)
27. pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics
28. pacman -S xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm for install default environment.
29. Try "startx" and my display here.
30. exit.
31. shutdown -h now, here's the result.

Still hang in this step.
Please tell me my mistake.

aaditya · 2013-09-20 15:58:55

It's not have "Boot Arch Linux x86_64 " menu because my motherboard not have UEFI firmware, right or not? pleae tell me.

This could be because your processor architecture is 32 bit (i686) and not 64 bit (x86_64)
Its not related to UEFI(You probably dont have UEFI)

And you only use 1 bootloader either GRUB or Syslinux
I recommend Grub. So steps 15,16,17 not needed.

And cant say why its giving unmount errors after you finish installation, maybe your problem begins there.

Well one thing definitely wrong is that you are installing both syslinux and grub! Choose one.

Edit: Nevermind, this is what happens when you load a tab and go watch videos on youtube and leave a reply half hour later without refreshing the page

And I recommend syslinux, so steps 19 and 20 would not be needed. ;p

I just feel as though syslinux is simpler and gives greater understanding of what information the bootloader/kernel needs in order to get your system running.
