Busy Box

Hi everyone!
I´m pietro and I´m a newbie in ArchLinux...  smile

Yesterday I try to install ArchLinux on my computer (Pentium II 233Mhz) with FTP installation, apparently all is correct in the installation. But when I try to enter in my new system... If I use initrd26-full.img for the boot I have this error:

Loading USB Subsystem (waiting 5 seconds for device to settle)

(cut)

If I use initrd26.img after SGI XFS Quota Management subsystem I  have this error:

mount: Mounting /dev/root on /new_root failed: No such device or adress

My /boot/grub/menu.list is:

title Arch Linux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/discs/disc0/port2 ro
initrd /boot/initrd26.img     or    /boot/initrd26-full.img
boot


In root I have (hd0,1) because in (hd0,0) I have Windows...


So, what can I do?
Where do I wrong?
Any hint?

Thank a lot you for your help!

Re: Busy Box

You need to change this:

root=/dev/discs/disc0/port2

to this:

root=/dev/hda2

Re: Busy Box

Thank you a lot!
Now it´s ok!!!  big_smile

but I have an other problem...

I installed only base package. Now I would like to install fluxbox
But when I update the package I have:

# pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
gethostbyname: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot connect to ftp://ftp.archlinux.org
gethostbyname: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot connect to ftp://ftp.nethat.com

ecc...

gethostbyname: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot connect to mirror.pacific.net.au
gethostbyname: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot connect to cle.linux.org.tw
failed to synchronize extra
error: could not open sync database: extra
 have you used --refresh yet?

#

Probably the connection setting is wrong, but is strange bacause when I have installed ArchLinux I use my connection to download all the base packages...

where I can check my connections setting?

Thank you a lot for your help!!!

Re: Busy Box

How do you connect to the internet (cable, DSL, use a router/switch) ?
Post your /etc/rc.conf

Re: Busy Box

Sorry I forgot to said the main info I have a LAN

my rc.conf is:

LOCALE="it_IT.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Stockholm/Europe"
KEYMAP="se"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MOD_BLACKLIST=()
MODULES=()
USELVM="no"

HOSTNAME="zebian"

lo="lo 130.XXX.XXX.XXX"
eth0="eth0 130.XXX.XXX.XXX netmask 255.255.XXX.XXX broadcast 130.240.X.X"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

gateway="default gw 130.240.XXX.XXX"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond) 

but I don´t understand where I have to put my IP in lo="lo my.ip.x.x" or in eth0 my.ip.x.x?
and where the DNS?

Thank you again!

Re: Busy Box

There are comments in the default rc.conf (and there's no need to remove them, btw) and the relevant ones here are as follows:

# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it

<edit>
Sorry - completely missed your lo interface - it should look like this (again, it's in the default version):

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"

DNS goes in /etc/resolv.conf.

Re: Busy Box

look for : "etho=" and edit like this:
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" naturally, using your settings. This line assumes you are using static IPs. If you use DHCP then use:
eth0="DHCP"
If you use DHCP you are done, otherwise go to the line: "gateway=" and enter your gatway address like this:
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
Again here you are using your settings.
And looks like you know where to put your DNS entris, so you are done.
Hope this helps.
