Re: Need help installing Arch

tafsen;

I would suspect that your grub details were incorect in your install procedure.

Review the install guide that appears on the home page as regards your entries for grub.

Be certain you have identified the correct root partition for your install and the boot partition(automatic in the auto install).

Some info is available in the wiki for installing arch.

Welcome to arch!

Re: Need help installing Arch

I guess I was to tired when I installed it.  I had an old GRUB in MBR and I installed the new one on my root partition. That's why I got GRUB GRUB GRUB 

Thanks, but it's more like welcome back
Damn I missed pacman :love: it's good to be back
