How did you manage to not have an activated lvm after boot? Normally archboot enables lvm devices during bootup.

/arch/setup
then go to the filesystem part
then go to any part that scan the filesystems searching for RAID,LVM and these stuff
the these stop in scaning RAID devices and never continue

Q: you use any of the localectl list-locales,list-keymaps or timedatectl list-timezones command??

And how did you create your LVM device, is it on USB or internal device?
Is it already available when you boot the ISO or do you plug in the usb afterwards?
Do you have an encrypted lvm or a mdam raid on it?
Does /dev/mapper/yourdevice already exist before you enter setup?
I need a way to understand how your system works.

I didn't realise /arch/setup was still available? Am I out of date or has something changed with pacstrap?

Please read the main archboot page what it is about. pacstrap is also avaiable on the image but the main installer on archboot is the setup script.

Hi, reinstalling my macbook pro 5,5 with nvidia 9400M GPU on a brand new SSD.

I have followed the instructions to boot archboot from EFI and I can boot both the main kernel directly (presumably EFISTUB) and via rEFInd. Both kernels boot, but halt at the stage loading the nouveaufb. This is the error: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34508

I have tried editing the kernel options, adding
- maxcpus=1
- modeset=0
- uvesafb=800x600-16
, but none of them helped.

Booting the LTS kernel on the image doesn't seem to work.

I also tried booting archboot without the 'EFI-patches', but the macbook didn't find anything to boot from.

Does anyone have a solution at hand? Should I rebuild the archboot image with the nvidia-module (how?) or is there an easier solution?

Thx!

For the record: booting the official Archlinux 2013.03.01 halts after 'triggering uevents' (which is laready at the <4s-point. At least Archboot kept it going for >20s...

If I were to install and configure packages in addition to archboot into the chroot would archboot-allinone.sh include those additional packages in the new Allinone ISO images?

tpowa · 2013-04-22 18:18:43

No you need to write hooks for including additional things.

In that case do you have a HowTo for creating the Archboot images? I'd like to create a fully configured desktop that runs entirely in RAM like Archboot.

tpowa · 2013-04-23 06:50:26

There is no HowTo about that case, you need to write mkinitcpio hooks for this case and add this to the config files.
But I can tell you it will be a lot of RAM you need.
Simplest hook would be add_full_dir "/"

I have lots of RAM available and according to my conky it's almost always 85% unused and I don't even bother to set up swap anymore. With the amount of RAM available in modern computers it wouldn't surprise me at all if becomes de rigueur in the not too distant future to run Linux from RAM with the SSD/HDD being only used for storing the compressed OS and data .

I am trying to install arch with archboot on an ACER V5-171 laptop and on an ACER XC600-G1610 set in legacy bios mode. Both computers start the CD and the USB-stick:
I see /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initramfs and then the screen turns black with a white cursor and stays there.
I've played with modeset params and some others but to no avail.
Standard arch and other distro's work without problems and I can install these.(stick and cd)
Any idea where I can start searching to solve the problem?

mianka · 2013-06-10 12:22:57

To tpowa, yes I did read about and apply the workaround for the screen issues, as I mentioned in my mail.I also searched in the forum but no solution was found for this problem.
It seems to be Acer-specific or more precisely the combination with Archboot.
Testwise I installed Fedora18 (I'm now writing on this computer) and it works. The USB-sticks and cd's I made work as a doddle on other computers so they are not to question either. Standard arch also works perfectly, both stick and cd.

Waiting for kernel 3.10 to be released, thats why.

tpowa · 2013-06-19 20:08:53

We are workin on lot of new stuff, like secure boot support etc. at the moment. Next release is a real big thing.

Hey guys, I'm having something similar to the issue described here today with 2013.03-4. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p1017038

I'm trying to install from a USB stick and get the message asking me to manually mount the source on /src. When I do so, archboot still fails to find the squashfs files although they are clearly in the expected spot (/src/packages/archboot_packages_any.squashfs + /src/packages/archboot_packages_$(uname -m).squashfs) and can be probed from the shell (ls, file, etc.)

Wondering if anyone had a quick fix for this. I've fiddled a bit with the /arch/setup script but not very much. Hoping there's an easy fix already known.

If you want to help us to find bugs in current archboot code, please try the beta ftp images, thx for helping.
