2013.08-1 archboot "2k13-R2" ISO hybrid image released

DarkPoe · 2013-08-09 02:09:39

Thanks man, I appreciate it and hope it all ends up good

tpowa · 2013-08-11 07:09:46

One thing, which is pretty strange with your setup:
sda is managed as disk and fakeraid?
What sense does it make to install on a degraded fakeraid device?
sdb is not partitioned the same as sda and not involved into the fakeraid.

tpowa · 2013-08-11 09:23:41

And can you please try to stop md device first and retry with dmraid -ay -I -Z
mdadm --manage --stop /dev/md126
mdadm --manage --stop /dev/md127

Please try this setup in your booted environment it should at least list all devices correct and you could try to install with it.

Idk, gparted gets to manage my fakeraid device well as /dev/sdX

Another thing

http://i42.tinypic.com/kt7xg.jpg

I tried the other setup, but it lists them (and i have md126p4 formatted as ext4) but it won't even let me format not mount it straightforware as /install it says error mounting as /install

So I'm kind of stuck in there

Is it not possible to activate the array with dmraid when mdadm has stopped the devices?
You need to disable md126 and md127 else it's not possible to run dmraid activation.
What is the error message when you try to mount it? Anything in dmesg or console if you do it by hand?
Also what does mkfs.ext4 output say?

Thanks for helping tracking this down.

As you see, i only have md126... Seems it takes sometimes the USB as md127

It is not possible as you see in the bottom, couldnt parse stripe destinaton

Will try to mount manually. When i do i will report back (also with mkfs.ext4)

This indicates that mdadm has not fully free your device. On my test setup in qemu, the fakeraid device should have a container device.
In my case this is md127 which contains only the metadata of the raid setup.
What does cat /proc/mdstat report?

When installing base system it gives me a loop of

/usr/bin/true: reloaction error: /install/user/lib/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_find_dso_for_object, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 with link time reference.

tpowa · 2013-08-20 12:50:16

Which program calls this? The installation routine is pure pacman so something is wrong in the repos.

cybe-arch · 2013-08-21 07:56:19

Must be pacman.. When installing glibc

Video here

ps -ef | grep pacman

returns nothing.

When killing bash /arch/setup it stops the error loop.

Update: Tried to install with pacstrap /install base, then it went through without errors, but when i execute /arch/setup after the install it starts the relocation error loop again.

When removing ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib from LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /arch/setup it executes OK.

Ah thanks for this hint, this was added for installing grub correctly, seems we need to change this a bit.

tpowa · 2013-08-21 10:53:26

Ok problem found and fixed in git, next version will not cause such trouble anymore.

tpowa · 2013-08-21 14:29:31

New beta4 ISO will now sync to the mirrors.
ISO is based on archboot-2013.08-2

fredbezies · 2013-08-23 12:02:46

Another ISO to download and test ! Great

Small bug. I installed an archlinux with testing enabled. Packages grabbing and installation OK.

But when I looked at pacman.conf in "Configure System" section, both testing and community-testing where commented. Known bug ? Because if you install an archlinux with testing and after first boot testing is not enabled... Well

Besides this bug, nothing to add. Old bios partitionning setup is OK, grub-bios too !

I noticed something : I wanted to test uefi with VirtualBox and beta4 ISO : it took something to 4 or 5 minutes to boot

Had this bug on grub2 installation, but nothing wrong happened. I also accepted to copy efi file in a further step.

Enjoy this release thanks to all helped improving it.

I don't know about virtualbox are you using ovmf for uefi? It's normal that uefi needs much longer too boot in emulation mode. I use qemu with --enable-kvm and ovmf to test UEFI.

Please post all steps that I can try to reproduce it.

Great work but found one bug. The module "efivars" is missing from the ISO. It's needed for using efibootmgr when installing a bootloader in UEFI boot mode. As it is grub-install runs and seemingly works fine. On reboot though, the system won't find the boot record.

I have exactly the same bug, with 2013.08-1

Typing modeprob efivars shows no error, but then with lsmod, you can see the module efivars isn’t loaded.
And when you type efibootmgr, there are errors messages, saying that managing EFI is impossible.

Sorry for late answer

It's normal that uefi needs much longer too boot in emulation mode. I use qemu with --enable-kvm and ovmf to test UEFI.

I cannot get ovmf to work with qemu (git or 1.6 version). Got this every single time

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -net none -m 1024 -bios /usr/share/ovmf/x86_64/bios.bin

And grub install bug ?

Just do a clean install of archlinux with archboot iso in Virtual Box. Classic GPT partitioning. Only installed base and base-devel package with a network installation.

Setup locales, hostname in configuration step.

And I selected uefi / grub2.

Message happened just after installation. As far as I remember. Will try to add more information asap.

Any tips on installing it on a Macbook Pro (Sandy Bridge) with EFI enabled?

I could install older versions of Archboot by doing what Heema wrote here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1185027 and then installing GRUB UEFI.

Now that doesn't seem to work,

Any tips?

thanks a lot!

Well, I'm back with more info on the subject. Archboot boots OK and installs packages fine. When the time comes to install a bootloader, Archboots detects I'm using x86_64 UEFI and asks me if I want to use a x86_64 UEFI Bootloader, I press <yes>.

Then, after I select Grub UEFI as my prefered bootloader, Archboot tries to install it but fails.

/tmp/grub_uefi_x86_64_install.log shows this:

install log

Any thoughts?

thanks!

tpowa · 2013-08-31 09:22:34

Do you have mounted your efi partition in /boot/efi? This is what grub is looking for.

tpowa · 2013-08-31 10:39:29

Latest setup code from git contains fixes for efibootmgr and probably grub, please try:

Thanks tpowa, I'll give it a try now and post the results here.

silencer · 2013-09-01 23:37:33

I tried with the new script. The same happened.

I noticed something, though. Before the attempt to install grub uefi, a line in the console is printed, it says: "Target not found: efivar"

I don't remember if this message was there with the original setup script.
