Problems with Arch LiveCD

Dobrosslove · 2009-04-23 09:57:23

I have downloaded Arch ISO 2009.02 and I've burned it to CD. When I boot that CD, I got grub console. What I need to type to get to Arch LiveCD menu?
Regards.

no such thing, mate. if you want an archliveCD go over to the chakra project and download from there.

Are you following the Beginners Guide? That shows you how to enter the setup program along with everything else.

Have you read my post? I got grub console, I don't get welcome screen with options to boot arch installation.

it sounds like grub breaks during boot, or am i missing something.
if so, this is a known problem with grub and we provide isolinux images to work around it

You might want to check the md5sum of your cd against the correct one first, then try the alternative image if correct. I don't see grub fail too often.. considering you know what it is and obviously haven't run into this before with other distros, I figure it shouldn't fall into the 'known problem with grub' category that necessitates the isolinux version.

So, I have to download another iso image?

I don't want to sound rude, but I'll ask again, have you followed and read the Beginner's guide? The installer does NOT start automatically, there's a terminal command you must type at the console to start it.

The CD should boot you to a virtual console, where you have to do things from there....if you only have a GRUB console that is another matter, and odds are you have a bad CD burn or a bad ISO or both. MD5 the ISO-to see if it is good...if it is then try reburning the CD.

I've burned CD with another burner, at 8x speed, and now everything is OK! Thanks!
