archlinux-2010.05-1-archboot.iso: i586 kernel??

synthead · 2010-06-26 19:31:53

I am trying to fix an Arch i686 installation on a computer via PXE. I downloaded archlinux-2010.05-1-archboot.iso and made a PXE server for it, but there's two kernel types. x86_64 and ... i586?? What is happening here? This is a problem because I can't chroot into my i686 installation!

x5x_tim · 2010-06-27 18:16:21

Most of the times, x86_64 is for AMD processors and i586 is for Intel processors.
(there are some exceptions though)

Pierre · 2010-06-27 18:48:17

Ehmm sorry, but thats just wrong. x86_64 is for 64bit cpu and i686 for 32bit. Although AMD invented the x86_64 cpu first "newer" intel ones support that too. For more details see e.g. wikipedia.

Btw: Arch does not run on i586.

Here are the md5sums on the media, note that it matches ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/iso/archboot/latest/md5sum.txt

[root@yomomma ~]# md5sum archlinux-2010.05-1-archboot.iso
93fa01d93aade58d8c9f436713fe3ed2  archlinux-2010.05-1-archboot.iso

And checking the md5sums of the iso ...

[root@yomomma ~]# mount -o loop archlinux-2010.05-1-archboot.iso /media/image
[root@yomomma ~]# cd /media/image/isolinux

Note that they match my renamed files on /var/tftpboot (they are the same files)...

And after booting the 32-bit version on the machine, I run a uname -rm and get ...

ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/iso/archboot/index.html
- It provides x86_64/i686 architecture in one image.

You can contact tpowa or write in this thread:

Ah, I overlooked you are using the archboot iso. No idea why tpowa put a i586 kernel on it.

tpowa · 2010-07-07 05:37:57

There is no i586 kernel on it it's the plain archlinux 32bit and 64bit kernel nothing else.
