[Solved] Installing arch on a notebook /w a 2.6.33+ chipset

Hi,

quick question:
I'd like to install arch on a notebook with a chipset that is not supported until 2.6.33.

The installation images however look rather old, so I'm afraid i won't even get to the installation step where I can chose which kernel to install.

What's the best way to do this?

*fixed typo

Well, AFAIK there is no official (either stable or testing) install image that uses kernel 2.6.33 yet. So you might wanna try to build your own.
However, this should encourage our devs to consider making one very soon, since 2.6.33 already hit [core] repo.

Zoranthus: Keep an eye on this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94687&p=2

The testing builds are currently using 2.6.32, but my bet is 2.6.33 will be included soon.

If you're referring to the Arrandale Chipset then you probably won't have any trouble with the official installation image. I used it to install a Clarkdale system without any trouble at all. The system even ran fine with 2.6.32 kernel.
You should use ethernet to connect to the internet during the installation though since your laptop probably has a very new wifi card too. If you choose netinstall you'll get 2.6.33.2-1 or later and you'll be good to go.
