Help with installing Bootloader grub/lilo

Hello Guys,

I am having some trouble installing archlinux on my Acer Aspire One. The whole installation is running ok. But if i want to install the bootloader I get the message

Error: Couldn't find /tmp/install/etc/grub.conf. Is grub installed ?

I get the same error if I Choose for Lilo. Can anyone help me ?

Re: Help with installing Bootloader grub/lilo

That file should be put in place when the install script runs pacman and installs grub.  Did you see anything odd when installing packages? Did you disable base packages?

What version are you trying to install ? 2008-06 ? i686 or x86_64 ?  Are you 100% sure you get exactly the same error with lilo?

Re: Help with installing Bootloader grub/lilo

i don't see anything odd when installing packages. I have installed almost all of them on my netbook. I have the error with all versions i now try 2008-10 i686 on a USB stick because my netbook don't have a CD drive.

And indeed I get the same error with Lilo then the error is:

Error: Couldn't find /tmp/install/etc/lilo.conf. Is lilo installed ?
