Hello, so I have been having a few problems with installing Arch on my new computer. On my old laptop I never ran into this problem on any distro of LINUX I installed, nor on any other of the systems I have installed Arch on. I believe it might have something to do with the fact that I am running the live cd off of an external dvd drive maybe? I am kind of stuck here, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
If it helps
System Specs:
Motherboard: ASROCK 890FX Deluxe3
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Hard Drives: 2 SATA 160gb hd RAID 0, and one 160gb ATA hd
OS: Windows 7 Professional on the RAID 0, hoping to put ARCH on the ATA (I have tried booting the ATA first in the list behind the USB DVDROM to no avail)
External Drive: Sony DVD/CD RW drive DRX-510UL
External DVDROM is the exact same drive I used to install windows 7 professional.
External DVDROM is plugged into one of my USB 2.0 ports, but the error still persists.
I am using the EXACT same disk I used when installing it on my past computer.
Trying to install x86_64 version of Arch, gets past the splash.
Output that I could catch:
:: Running Hook [archiso]
:: Rinning Hook [archiso_pxe_nbd]
:: Mounting tmpfs, size 75%... done.
:: Waiting for boot device...
Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201005 ...

Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
If you need any other info, I can grab it of course.

If the external DVD drive doesn't work, can you try installing off a USB key?

Yeah, but I have to re-download. I will try that though.
