Re: what is difference between Arch and Arch Fallback

Fallback has all mkinitcpio hooks loaded, the normal one only has what is needed. Adding usb to the HOOKS= line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and running 'mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img' as root will allow you to boot from USB.

Running as fallback all of the time isn't going to hurt anything, but fixing the problem is always better.

I fixed that post, be sure to run 'mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img'.

Doesn't Arch have Fallback mode since Linux v3? Or am I missing something? Sorry if this has been answered somewhere.

@MrAlex - it's there but if you're using grub you have to add it manually.  Check your /boot for the fallback files.
