i am completely new to arch and am having trouble getting it installed on my laptop. it does not detect network devices. i have checked the proper files and my network is configured properly. here are my steps to getting my network detected so far.
'hwdetect --show-net' which replies '/sys/devices is not present -- mount /sys first.' after that i do a 'mount /sys' and am answered with 'mount: can't find /sys in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab'
can anyone help me out please.

/sys is a virtual filesystem and is populated at runtime. You are probably missing some essential services, that will do this for you. Check you /etc/rc.conf if you start the services dbus and hal. If not, add them after syslog-ng but before everything else.

i added those two services and i am still getting the same exact messages.

Hmh, check if there is a directory called "sys" on the / level. If so, try mounting it by hand
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sysOtherwise create the directory and try again. Report back.

i did a re install to see if i just forgot something but i get the same thing. no device found. i did the above and i get 'mount: unknown filesystem type 'sysfs''. i have also done a /etc/rc.d/network start, but i get no such device. i also do a ifconfig eth0 and get an error fetching interface information: device not found. also when powering off, when it lists the daemons it is shutting down, is shows my daemons along with no such file or directory on hal, alsa, gdm, pcmcia, hotplug, and dbus.
