Hello,
yesterday i tried to install Arch Linux on my Lenovo X220 (was using Ubuntu before). I read through the wiki and followed the "Beginner's Guide" - thought I figured everything out,
but after the installation my system won't boot.
The following error appears after i select "Arch Linux" in GRUB:
Booting 'Arch Linux'
root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sdb1 ro
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
Press any key to continue...
I'm not to lazy to read thorugh the Wiki for myself, but I just can't figure out what the error message means.

Partition type 0x7 is NTFS. Maybe grub is pointed to the wrong partition.

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

I second alphaniner's idea. As is isn't it suggesting that your boot and root partitions are the same? Is that the case?

Strange, because i have just one NTFS partition left (on /dev/sda1), and arch is installed on my ssd on /dev/sdb1
Which should be (hd1,0) - /dev/sda1 should be (hd0,0) according to GRUB
EDIT: My boot and root partitions are the same, actually!

Try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … ice_naming as sda and sdb can "trade places" - this is normal.
