Hello

Recently i bought a new pc (mb: msi p35 neo; cpu: core 2 duo 6750). I tried to install but when the instalation search for packages, the system doesnt see the dvd drive (it is a LG GSA-H55N), so I cant install.

Any answers will be well recived.

Something so rare had happend. I installed virtualbox in Windows XP, then I created a virtual machine and run archlinux from this one. When the boot is finished I can see /dev/dvd, /dev/cdrom, etc, ie, I can install archlinux in the virtual machine. Looking any difference I run lsmod and compared it with the lsmod returned from the real installation. I found some differences: In the virtual machine there are 3 new modules loaded at the begining of the instalation: sd_mod, sr_mod and cdrom. So, at the normal installation I load them but I still can´t get the system mount my dvd drive...

Help is wellcome!

As I can see, to many people have seem my message, but no one have write some king of suggestion . If anyone know something please helpme, I want to try arch in my new pc. I've tried another distros like ubuntu 7.10 and linux mint. These distros start without problems, but when I try to install, they cant see the partitions in my hard drive. Still I have hopes.

S-ATA optical drive? Unsupported chipset?

P35 is a state of the art motherboard. Try to find out whether it is supported under Linux at all or not.

Are there any module for my ide-atapi dvdrom that arch doesnt load at boot??? If someone know about that I will be very happy

.:B:. · 2007-12-11 20:28:31

What kernel does Mint have? Afaik latest Arch installer has a the latest stable kernel, so if Mint installs so should Arch...

faco · 2007-12-11 20:47:09

Linuxmint has 2.6.22

faco · 2007-12-14 16:59:04

Hello, me again

I'm trying to follow "http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fas … nux_System".
All ok at boot except for this: kernel panic

The last lines that I get booting with that method are:

ReiserFS: sda8: Checking transaction log (sda8)
ReiserFS: sda8: Using r5 hash to sort names
kinit: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly
kinit: init not found!
kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init

HELP PLEASE!!!

Does your Grub say hd(0,7) for the Arch entry?

faco · 2007-12-15 19:51:24

yes, it does

faco · 2007-12-19 03:53:31

Finally, I decide dont continue with arch for this time (maybe I try again when a new iso arrive). This because I couldnt get running my dvd drive (at ata port); at the begining internet (eth0) run well, but at the second boot (I change dhcp in eth0 interface at rc.conf) network cant start, I look if I was missing some module but not, all modules were charged. So thank for your help and good luck

ME AGAIN...AND...HAPPY YEAR FOR EVERY ONE

I'm writing from archlinux!!!...yeah, finally I was able to install arch. I installed packages from one partition as source, comment some lines at the net section on rc.conf, updated pacman and all system and....walaaaa, all go fine right now....

Hello! I'm fighting with that problem too, since 3 days! I have MSI P35 neo2-fr and ata optical drive LG gsa-h20l. I palyed with many boot options like: ide-legacy, noapic, nolapic, acpi=off, nosmp, irqpoll, but it doesn't work. Archlinux installation don't see my drive . I'll try to do as faco said. Hope it'll work and I hope my drive will be automatically detected in new archlinux verrsions.

EDIT:

OK, archlinux installed
