[Solved] ISO fails to load /run/archo/iso/bootmnt/arch/aitab

I have a new laptop that for the first time (for me) has efi enabled. It is a Samsung RC530.

I have downloaded and setup an iso image (2013.06.01-dual.iso, md5 checks out OK) on a USB following this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … B_from_ISO

The image on the disk boots and attempts to load the base system but I run into the aforementioned problem. Image below for full details. If I logout twice it stack traces (also included below).

I think it didnt actually mount the image properly but thinks it did. Im not too sure. Still learning the nitty grity of loading this sort of thing.

Doing some Googling:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=136298

It seems the error occurs if somewhere on your harddisk the label of the used iso is present; the wrong iso is booted.

That appers to have bben the proble. Thanks henk for sorting it.

I had some existing partitions named the same as the boot image.
