ok guys isos were updated and boot now again, enjoy and report problems, thanks

Romashka · 2006-10-01 17:54:27

Tobias, is there a chance that these ISOs will be released as 0.7.3 (when TODO from readme.txt will be removed, of course)? Or there were no discussion among devs about this yet?

Since 0.7.2 there were many changes. Installing from old 0.7.2 leads to some problems for new users.

tpowa · 2006-10-01 21:42:24

me provides new isos atm, perhaps 0.8.0 will base on it, but 0.7.3 will never happen and i'll not rename them.
if you all like those install isos chances to get them as base for 0.8 will rise.
i wanted just to improve the standard 0.7.2 image.

:cry: I was hoping for 0.7.3.

We plan on having maintenance releases every 3 months, their version numbers will be X.Y.Z (like 0.7.1). Major releases will happen when there are large changes to the installation environment (udev, initrd, installer).

That was a decission of developers meeting on 22nd of Janary, 2006.

Of course devs can skip 0.7.3 and release 0.8 but I doubt it will be soon.

tpowa · 2006-10-02 05:53:51

one question: what is so different between these new isos and those famous 0.7.3 and 0.8?
nothing it's only a number changes, the new isos cover all stuff that changed in the last few months.

@tpowa

I have also little Problems with the last isos, I have a little graphic error(I only can read the word "boot", that was all) , but when I press enter, the kernel is booting without Problems

You have already answered to your question by yourself. http://www.archlinux.org/~tpowa/newisos/readme.txt

Better hardware detection, works with USB devices, initcpio, archboot, better setup. It fixes a lot of problems with 0.7.2 install.
IMHO it could be released as 0.7.3 bugfix release, before devs will put more work in 0.8, which I doubt will come soon. But this is only my very humble opinion.

BTW, can you please add selection of eth0 or eth1 for connecting to Internet.

Wow, Tobias is my hero!
I just haven't tried the latest ISO because I have slow Internet connection now, and it's not yet downloaded. And there was no word about it in readme.txt

leviathan · 2006-10-02 07:50:23

I burned it at 4x on verbatim support.

I tried to re-download an re-burnet but the ISO wont boot.

Note all other iso I downloaded and burned works fine (i have temporanely install ubuntu :cry: )

tpowa · 2006-10-02 09:18:16

my iso showas version isolinux 3.31 2006-09-25 yours show 3.11

fk · 2006-10-02 09:24:02

I have the ISO deleted after burning on CD, but i try anotherone

fk · 2006-10-02 09:52:16

Ok I have downloaded , now it works, but it's wired, the other ISO I have downloaded yesterday...

tpowa · 2006-10-02 09:53:48

fk yes i moved in 2 images yesterday the first one didn't worked

PeteMo · 2006-10-02 12:39:58

the new iso's seem to work. I burned and booted from the ftp install disc with no problems. I didn't go through the install process, since I've got a working install now, but it did boot fine. Thanks tpowa!

leviathan · 2006-10-02 15:29:45

kernel panic during boot

tpowa · 2006-10-02 15:31:45

leviathan are you using vmware???

fk · 2006-10-02 15:40:57

@leviathan

I hava had this error also at one Time, try bootparameter noacpi, that works for me

tpowa · 2006-10-02 15:44:09

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5464 looks identicall

SuiRIS · 2006-10-02 16:06:16

I have the same problem as leviathan (with the base-iso). I'm not using vmware.
@ fk bootparameter noacpi doesn't work

tpowa · 2006-10-02 16:07:45

acpi=off perhpas helps also noapic could help,
what hardware you guys use?
looks like more a kernel bug then and not install media specific
