Missing vmlinuz [SOLVED]

Hello,
I followed the steps of this guide, but I think this guide assumes that I will get a kernel in / at some point (see steps for Gummiboot).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/beginners%27_guide

However after following the steps there, I have no kernel installed.

Did I miss something obvious ?

Duh, I had to run 'pacstrap /mnt linux', maybe someone should edit the Beginner's guide if he has access.

Re: Missing vmlinuz [SOLVED]

The 'linux' kernel package is part of the base group, so you should have installed it

# pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel

Note that in the gummiboot configuration "/" is the root of the EFI System Partition (ESP). Also note that the "arch.conf" excerpt is only a template, modify it to your needs.

Thank you to both of you, I managed to install grub but I have now another issue after booting due to the RAID 0 on the Acer S7, because it is not related to this topic I will create a new thread separately. I chose Grub because gummiboot seemed to not work too well on the S7 (maybe due to that RAID 0)
