[SOLVED] MacBook Pro 13 late 2011 only arch OS partition section probl

Ho to everyone. I get, updated and then managed to install only arch as OS. But with the standard 2011.08 CD installation I cannot pass udev; so I went to releng Iso of 04 12 2012 and it appears I have serious problems:
I tried everything, with refit(with osx) and w/o, using msdos partition or gpt but when I get in the partition stage of the installation and I choose mount by dev name, mount points (3rd one) the list that appear is doubled and I cannot delete or edit partitions. But if I choose the auto-partition one I could pass through but I have other problems regarding grub don't finding the UUID and in the edit at boot section of grub every line is not aligned so I cannot boot.
So, my only problem of interest is to know if it's a bug in the archlinux partition installation section of the releng I grabbed or not?(maybe I can solve using gparted and prepare the partition for the arch installer... )

Thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem, but i don't understand how you fixed it. What was wrong with the 201108? Me to, i cant boot it on my macbook pro 8. Same udev problem.

And when i try one of the lastest iso here : http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/
i have the same partition problem. They are duplicated, and i cant fix it. I tryed with parted and with gparted, nothing work.

How did you managed to boot with the 201108?
